    We stopped by on a Thursday evening. The place was busy but not fully packed yet. As the weather was nice, a number of people were outside with their dogs. My husband ordered a flight to try plus a can to take home. The beers were good, quite diverse, and we enjoyed sitting at a barrel table outside.

    Last stop of a Brewery trip on a rare 40s February Friday. Matt was the friendly beertender who assisted me in building a flight. Rookie...shoulda asked more ?s... before building a four pour $14 flight....as i didnt even finish one pour. Was a comfortable, spacious & a lot of natural light tap room. Free street parking along the block.

    We absolutely love Ursa Minor and stop by every time we head up north for a weekend getaway. It can get busy, but we've always found seating options--even if there aren't tables available, the barrel tables on the patio make for a great standing option. The patio is amazing and very dog-friendly, which we love! The pizza is incredible and the beer is just as good. Highly recommend!

    Flight of delicious goodness!

    Great beers, service, samples, and pizza! Only one small critique... Pizzas could use a few more toppings. Otherwise the crust and overall flavor was on point. Will definitely make this a regular stop when in Duluth.

    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.

Delicious poutine, with oozy gooey squeaky cheese curds. I had the smoked fish salad; it had the right amounts of everything and felt like a distinctly Duluth dish. My husband had the fish and chips. I had a bite of his fish, and it was perfect, with great batter and flavor. I would happily come here again on a visit. I can see why this is a city institution.

I usually end up not liking the poutine at places, but will try it. Here, I actually really liked it, and will definitely get it again. The same for the onion rings, they were crispy and not too greasy. We also got the inhouse made root beer. That was quite good as well.

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 beer selection was a little smaller than we expected, but there was still a nice variety of styles, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed.

The only small downside was that the Brussels sprouts were still a little undercooked for our taste, but everything else was excellent and more than made up for it. Excellent brisket, fish n chips, and build your own burger! The garlic aioli and IPA mustard sauces were definitely memorable.

They have a streamlined process for getting seated, the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and local area. My family ordered the usual staples: biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage, and bacon/eggs/sausage. All were hearty portions and perfectly prepped. I tried the "Triple B" which turns out to be a Midwest version of Bibimbop. Made with manoomin (wild rice), beef/pork mix, kimchi, marinated kale- probably my fave of the dish. The combo is a deliciously perfect power meal to start any day and weekend right! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the care they take in procuring local ingredients- even their kale and some herbs are from their own lil garden. I highly recommend the Duluth Grill, there's something for everyone! We will definitely stop by on our next trip out to Duluth.
