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. ______

The tap house is located in a converted bowling alley. One side is the brewing/bottling/kegging area and the other is the bar and seating area. It is small yet cozy. They have a shuffleboard and other table games to keep you busy. There is also a massive record selection to look through for suggested playing. Beers are legit good. One of my all time favorites is the South Shore Nut Brown. I can't get enough of that stuff. Seriously so good. Their other beers are equally delicious, I haven't tried one I didn't like. They only have beer here, no liquor, and the NA selection consists of soda. So don't bring your lame friends. Ha, just kidding.

I'm from NJ but a friend from MN recommended this place telling me it's the best beer in the state. I visited on a Saturday in August and it looks like a lot of others agreed because it was absolutely slammed my whole time there. They had three lines at the bar for ordering beer and all three were packed with people all the way to the door. The taplist featured a nice variety of beers including a Märzen, a lime lager, a cream ale, a stout, etc. Almost no two beers were alike. I had a flight and the beers I had were good, but nothing really wowed me. I've been to over a hundred breweries in NJ and I've never seen THC drinks on a taplist, so that was unique for me. They also had a nice variety of hard seltzers and hard slushies, plus a wide variety of NA options including NA beers. So something for everyone here. Overall a nice spot with competently brewed beers that I would return to if I were ever in the area again.

Local here. One…read morething I'd like to point out is that Adventure Club Brewing is strictly the "back" of the building. The wolf, gelato stand, and sandwich shop are all part of Howl - a completely separate company (and very nice people!) that they share space with. If you have a complaint with the grounds, decor, or anything on the highway side of the gate between "front" and "back", you are talking about a different business! Adventure Club offers craft, local beers personally created by the owner. They will serve you weirdly flavored popcorn (unless it's out!) and pretzels - but this is a place for interesting, lovingly crafted, flavorful beer the like of which has almost vanished since the mega-corps bought up all the old school "microbreweries". You won't always like it, but it's never boring... it is an adventure.

First thing to note is the brewery (Earthrider) is a block away from this tasting room or "lounge." When you walk in, you run into a long bar with an event stage at its 10 O'clock and booths flanking on either side. Order at the bar and seat yourself. During the summer months, you can use the outdoor patio in the back for additional seating. Comes with a portapotty if you want to avoid the restroom inside. Good beer options for every taste bud and the "inferno" pizza surprised me. Wish I had a bottomless stomach to eat the whole thing. The staff are friendly and the crowd is chill.
