    Ursa Minor Brewing was a great stop for our family while we were in town. It was raining by when we stopped and, although we opted to sit inside, I loved the option they have of a covered outdoor seating space. I ordered a flight and I like all the beers I tried. The bartender was helpful and made good recommendations. We also enjoyed the woods fired pizzas for lunch. They came out hot and crispy and delicious.

    It's in West Duluth, there are a few other breweries and cideries close by. This place is a great menu with a very diverse beer selection. The pizza is also very good. Ample outdoor seating. Street parking could be a little challenging depending on the time of day. I was here early, June. It's counter service. Friendly.

    We were heading up to the north shore for some camping and stopped here for lunch. They had a great menu and plenty of options for non-beer drinkers. I got a pint of root beer. We got a few different things. My friends loved their salad and the pizza was pretty good. I think it could've used a little more cheese. We also got the bear bread with ricotta and while it was delicious I thought there would be more bread for $8.

    I have had a good number of Ursa Minor beer, but almost exclusively in cans. I was happy to be able to visit the taproom in order to enjoy their offerings on draft, and to chat with some other industry members. Ursa Minor Brewing is a craft brewery in Duluth, Minnesota's Lincoln Park Craft District that serves a variety of beers, wood-fired pizza, and other food. The brewery opened in 2018 and is named after the North Star constellation.  While there, I got a flight of some beers. Glamping: A Lemon Shandy that was super refreshing on the hot day. There was a nice tartness to it that made you keep grabbing for another sip. Agate Hunter: A Fruited Sour full of Boysenberry, Cherry, and Vanilla. Nice sweetness from the vanilla with tartness from the fruit. Berry forward with a tart finish. Alora Amora: A Hazy IPA that had a nice roundness to it. Not too thick, not too in your face, just a nice enjoyable Hazy. Oktoberfest: An Oktoberfest brewed with German Malt that accentuated the biscuit character while maintaining easy drinkability that you could imagine drinking out of a liter stein. ___

    Stopped at this great brewery in the Duluth Lincoln Park Craft District a couple months ago. We had some terrific beers, listened to some good live music, and ate good wood fired pizza. They really nailed the outdoor space - works really well for both large groups and small ones like ours. Like several of the spots on W Superior, it has a kind of renovated industrial feel that feels well worn but somehow new at the same time.

    Tried this place for the first time. The location isn't exciting, but it's about the beer, right? I sampled 4 and they were all delish! Hard to find a brewery these days with a solid sampler that "bats a thousand." I definitely recommend exploring the beers here. They know what they're doing!

    Kale pizza? Good for a slice, but a bit of a committal for a full pie. On a more positive note, a $6 twenty ounce draft is quite a snag for a weekly special. Our server was quick to entertain his choice of "the most American song." However, his choice of Don McLean seemed a certainty as it played over the loudspeakers at the time of asking. If you're looking to play GoFish or Hanabi and see a lot of dogs, this is the covered porch for you. I'd return again, but would be trying a different pizza. To be specific, a gluten circle with a few more gluttonous calories. Cheers Duluthers and other fellow visitors.

    Love this place! Family friendly environment with a back room seating area that is designed for families. The drink menu offers a great variety and the staff are extremely helpful. The pizza is excellent with a quick turnaround from when you order to delivery to your table. Great outdoor seating options. Wednesday nights they offer fun trivia or bingo that rotates every week. If you're looking for a fun brewery experience, this is a must!

    The pizza here is outstanding. Service was fast and respectful. There was a wide variety of beer to choose from - so much so that my wife got a flight to try more options. We went on a beautiful May day, and we loved soaking up some sun on the patio area. They had a local jazz band playing tunes. Excellent brewery and restaurant. Can't wait to go back.

    I absolutely love the vibe and beer at Ursa! In the summer, there plenty of outdoor seating with fire pits and live music too (with a pontoon boat for a stage..gotta luv it!). My favorite beer choices were the Kolsch and Oktoberfest. They do fill growlers too as a bonus. I didn't try the pizza so can't comment on the food. We thoroughly enjoyed this brew pub!

    Just loved "bear bread"
    Kimberly F.

    This place is super roomy with plenty of seating inside and on the patio. Dog friendly, kid friendly. The kids even have their own area. The beer was good and a good selection. Service was good. You can order your food at the bar. We had a voyager pizza. I would have done a little less kale and more mushrooms but that's my personal preference and it was a delicious pizza.

    Fun place in the renovated downtown of Duluth this brewer pizzeria has a cool outdoor indoor vibe with killer pizza and some delicious beers. Root beer on tap for the littles and a fantastic German pretzel with cheese and mustard. Seating can be tough on busy days and it's under renovation but when it's done it will be quite the spot indoor. Also one of the best people watching spots as it is an eclectic mix of folks. Try it when you are up north or in the greater Duluth area

    Great brewery and great fun spots to sit and relax on their brewery. We got beverages including the thc drink by wild state (I'm gfree). It was one of the best tasting thc drinks I've ever had. And to boot, wild state is 460 feet from Ursa Minor. Snacks - we got a cauliflower pepperoni pizza, kettle chips and the pretzel for the 6 of us. Cauliflower crust was just okay and did take a long time to come out. I wish they would've mentioned that they had an influx of orders and it would take 30+ mins. Also, the staff weren't friendly at all and seemed more bothered when I came to the counter to order or ask a question.

    Always a top choice when we go out to eat. Delicious food and good service. Good ambiance as well…read more I get the California burger every time. Absolutely scrumptious. Always leaves me happy and full. The fries are great too. Servers are kind and attentive. 10/10 recommend

    You know what shopping can be exhausting! at the Fitger's building. Located right on the bike path…read moreon Lake Superior this place offers a bit of nostalgia, scenic views, shopping, and eating and drinking. 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. ______
