    Expensive beers, but I love the vibe of this place and that you can bring food in to eat.

    We decided to have a little date night here on a Friday afternoon. It is a great place to hang out, catch up with a friend, and enjoy some entertainment. The lines were super short and the employees were very nice. The best part, I think, is that there is something to drink for every person in your group! They had a plethora of fun-named beers on tap, THC drinks, and their house made root beer was fantastic. We decided to bring our own food (some delicious Vitta Pizza) to eat with our delicious drinks. They did have a food truck outside and they also have a couple snacks, like pretzels, for purchase at the bar. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat by the fire and learned a new board game. Very cute brewery. Highly recommend.

    Delicious brews, chill ambiance, nice location. I really appreciate that they offer a flight option - great choice to try a number of beers without overcommitting to one you may not like. I really liked the sour and light lager, and my husband really enjoyed trying all the porter and stout options. Highly recommend!

    Stopped by on my way out of town to try their THC seltzers. I'm familiar with their beer and have visited before, but wanted to try their new canna beverages. I had the puff pineapple dragonfruit 10mg which the staff member explained was a sparkling water, similar to a lacroix. He was spot on. It was refreshing after a day of hiking. Also, love the can design. I brought my dog who received TWO treats from the brewery staff - lucky dog! Their patio lawn was awesome and they had dog bowls and water for the dogs who came. It wasn't very busy so this was a very relaxing experience for both me and my dog (who can get antsy being on a leash). Ended up buying two 4-packs of the canna beverages. The puff cloudberry dragonfruit and the Hightrend Mary Jane's mule (I've had this before and it's my fav!! It tastes just like a Moscow mule). They gave me a punch card, buy 10 4-packs get the 11th free. I've always liked this brewery and their products so next time I'm in Duluth, they'll be seeing me!

    Nitro stout, IPA

    We were in Duluth for an afternoon and this was one of our stops! My husband got an IPA and I got a nitro stout, both very solid beers but nothing unique enough to make me crave to go back to this place. I wish they had some slightly more adventurous beers - maybe even some sours? They do have THC seltzers which we didn't try. The ambience itself is very cool - love that they have table games inside as well as board games to play. Also - love the inside fireplace and the patio area (although the view of the construction on the Highway could be nicer). Cool spot in the city and would go back Ambience, service and product

    Beer at Bent Paddle Brewing Co

    I met my friend Ryan W. here for drinks. We had a great time drinking for nearly two hours and at least a couple rounds. It is a comfy spot with a neat vibe that was comfortable for conversation and for drinking. They have a wifi, which was useful as I was unusually early and spent some time writing a Yelp review or two and working out where I would be heading in the van tonight (the Walmart in Superior allows overnight parking) and tomorrow (you'll just have to wait for those).

    Such a cool taproom with awesome staff and great brews. Whether ending the night or pregaming Bent Paddle is a must stop! Great patio as well & dog friendly :) Ambiance was nice.

    comfortable and spacious place for a beverage

    We stopped by to grab a drink while waiting for the popular nearby OMC Smokehouse. This place was super clean and excellently run and designed. I loved the huge open area, with tons of seating options indoors and outdoors. We settled on a giant cozy curved booth, but they had an even cozier place right by the fireplace that I'd love to sit at next time. I tried the Wilderness Tuxedo (Sour Ale) and it was fantastic. The staff was attentive, precise and made sure to keep the tables clean. Very pleased with our brief stop, can't wait for my next visit.

    We stopped in here to try the beer. They don't serve food but allow it to be brought in. There are several restaurants close by. I had the Blimey beer, an English pale ale. This is a great pale ale that goes down easy. I really liked it. The servers are knowledgeable about the beer but out experience was that it would be hard to go wrong. Great place!

    25.4 ounce Crowler
    David M.

    Bright open-air feel; friendly and helpful staff; amazing beer! After tasting the beer at a local restaurant, I wanted to stop in and grab some to go. Even though I was just getting a quick can on the run I was greeted and treated like a VIP. I bought a 26 oz crowler (fat aluminum can) for about $10. Great value for some really tasty beer. I'm looking forward to returning when I can sit for a while with my wife and enjoy the atmosphere and more brews. I saw games available to play and the seating was not cramped. There was an outdoor area with a stage (not in use) for music. A food truck was setting up out on the street.

    I stopped for a beer , the beer is ok, nothing to get excited about, the ambiance was ok, nice on a cold day with the fireplace! The music was not loud, but, rap is not my thing and it got to be to much, moving on ! The service was slow, and the place was not busy! No TV's, not a place for sports fans!

I can wax poetic about wandering around the building but, that can be for another time. The brewhouse is a cool place to hang after you've become weary of hitting all the shops on Canal street. Nestled in the old brewery you will experience first and foremost some solid beers (take some crowlers home with you), and some decent food. I think we at lunch here three times? I think one kind of gets tricked into eating here. One starts with a couple beers, then an appetizer, and the next thing you know, you're onto an entree without giving it a second thought. Honestly, I don't think I had anything or tasted anything that was bad. My favorites here are: 1. Poutine: fries, cheese curds, bacon and gravy? that is always a winner. 2. Elote Dip is super good. I'd fight somebody for the last scoop of the dip. 3. the Pretzels are good. Love the cheese sauce....I would ask for mustard too, but that is just me. 4. Pimento Cheeseburger is a favorite like the little bit of kick it offers with the Jalapenos, and it was made medium rare for me to boot I did try a bit of the Wild Rice burger. It was OK, non-meat options are not my gig for a burger. the person who ordered this, truly enjoyed it. I also want to mention the their beer is fresh, well-made, and there is usually a taproom only beer available. I have missed it the last few years but, they had a barleywine that was outstanding. I hope that comes back. If you're in Duluth it is totally worth the stop. Eat some food, drink some beers, buy some merch and support this local treasure.

Bent Paddle Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated craft brewery and taproom in Duluth, Minnesota. The brewery opened in May 2013 and uses Lake Superior water to brew it's beers and hemp beverages. Bent Paddle's mission is to create a unique craft beer experience while also being sustainable for the business, employees, environment, and community. And they deliver on it all. I got a flight to enjoy some of their more limited offerings. Munchin Pretzels: An Oktoberfest beer brewed with traditional German Malts and Hops. I get toasted bread malt character with a bit of sweetness, but rounded out by a hop bitterness. The malt profile is definitely the forefront and I wished I had a pretzel to go with it. Infinity Stuf: An Oatmeal Stout that they went all out with 100 pounds of Oreos. Nutty oatiness, chocolate, and medium fullness. I appreciate it not being a Pastry Stout, but still get lots of Oreo character. A Beer of Their Own: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed in collaboration with a Bar Of Their Own in the Twin Cities. Tropical fruit forward - primarily melon and cantaloupe, with a nice finish. Stratarado: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed with Strata and El Dorado (get the name?). Tropical fruit, pineapple, some sweetness on the tongue. Liked this one a lot. ______
