HARRAH, OK – The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma has partnered with Skydance Brewing Co. to open a taproom at Kickapoo Casino. The new Skydance taproom will feature a large menu of Skydance’s handcrafted beers. Work has also begun on an exclusive co-branded Kickapoo beer to be served in the taproom and in cans at the Kickapoo Tribe’s adjacent C-Store.
“Kickapoo Casinos will continuously pursue changes and actions to further enrich the experience of our patrons – and this partnership does just that,” said Darwin Kaskaske, Chairman of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma. “As leaders, we are focused on new opportunities to connect with consumers in new occasions. As craft brewing continues to gain popularity throughout the nation, the opportunity to partner with a Native-owned brewery in Skydance was a perfect fit. It creates awareness that Native Americans are a vital part of this country’s heritage, and still are to this day. Our core values align with what the Skydance brand stands for, and we are looking forward to incredible things we will do in the years ahead.”
“From the day we opened Skydance Brewing Co., we’ve always seen our brand as a Native-owned craft brewery to be a perfect fit to partner with tribal casinos and bring craft beer to gaming properties,” said Jake Keyes, Founder & CEO at Skydance Brewing Co. “Our goal is to recreate what we did in our Oklahoma City taproom and bring it to Kickapoo Casino and the Harrah, OK, community.”
