Breweries in Duluth

Duluth is well-known for its craft beer production thanks to the pristine waters of Lake Superior used by most brewers in town.

The ever-popular Castle Danger Brewery and Bent Paddle Brewing are doing so well that the authorities have recently upgraded them from micro-brewery status. They’re now considered regional breweries.

This two-story testament to brewing excellence is the largest brewpub in the state, offering 14 different beers on tap.
