By Jazz M. Wolfe | Gaylord News May 10, 2021 1 of 2 Oklahomaâs first Native American-owned brewing company, inspired by the recipes of the ownerâs father, will open an independent location this summer. SkyDance Brewing Co., owned and operated by Jacob Keyes, opened in 2018 when Keyes, a member of the Iowa Nation, started the business in honor of his father. The company has been operating out of a co-op â a single location where multiple brewing companies use the same equipment â in Oklahoma City, but will move to an independent location. Keyes and his father had always wanted to open their own brewery. One day, Keyes found a beer recipe of his dadâs and made it. His friends insisted he enter it into a competition, which he won. The evening Keyes won the competition, his brother called him to say their father had died.
