Rant aside, very good ciders with a strong selection, including NA and THC. Maybe a tiny bit overpriced, though that's the trend these days, I guess. Ironically, I felt their takeaway ciders to be reasonably priced. Wild State is sitting nearby another cidery, two breweries, a distillery, with a handful of nice dining options. No offense to the others, get the pizza here and thank me later. This will be a mainstay of my seasonal visits.

It's still one of my favorite cider spots in Duluth and definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere was quieter and more laid back, making it a nice place to slow down after visiting a few busier spots. They get very creative with their cider menu, offering unique flavors like Girl Scout Cookie and pickle, which were fun to sample even if they weren't my favorites. Their classic cider options continue to be the ones I'd recommend. Overall, it's a fun place to visit whether you're looking to try something adventurous or stick with a traditional cider.

Mac was my most recent server, and she was not only friendly but very helpful on selecting a beverage. Drinks were divine! I also love their lounge with comfy chairs and fun games.

I had heard great things about Bent Paddle Brewing's taproom - and it did not disappoint. A huge…read morestage with music set up outside and the inside was extremely expansive. 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. ______

I LOVED the seltzers, particularly the blueberry basil, but the peach hazy IPA and the Razz beer were also amazing! Also, their beers are on the stronger side so take note if you are trying to pace yourself! Now for the fun-- Blacklist also has axe throwing!! It is pretty affordable, too. It cost $100 for my group of 6 to play for an hour. The instructor was also super personable and helpful! He kept it safe but also super fun, and he was able to step in when someone needed help but hang out when we were doing okay on our own. He also ensured no one ever had an empty glass and everyone was having fun!! I would recommend Blacklist to absolutely anyone, and would totally come back when in Duluth!

The tap shack Caribbean lager with lime was really good! The coffee stout was also up there, and the IPA and hemp and hops were good, but pretty standard as far as those go in my opinion. Really good stuff!

We decided to bring our own food (some delicious Vitta Pizza) to eat with our delicious drinks.

Researching different parks, restaurants, coffee places and breweries, Warrior's art caught my eye. Curious to try the beer behind the bottle, we had the chance to drop by on our way southbound to Minneapolis about a month ago. Despite being in a multi-business strip mall, Warrior commands its own space the second you walk in. The owner was incredibly laid-back and welcoming, offering suggestions base on taste palate and providing a couple of free small samples before committing. I'm open to try any style myself, from the lightest table beer to the most robust barrell-aged stout; Warrior's selection runs the gamut in bold, distinct contrast. I highly recommend the flight (even if you're not the biggest beer fan, you have to appreciate the sword-shaped serving board). Personal standouts were the Barbarian Imperial Stout (much less harsh or boozy than you might expect) and the Samurai Red IPA. A short drive southwest of downtown, don't miss Warrior on a trip through Duluth. I may have to battle that commute from STL to make another visit myself someday.
