Bent Paddle Brewing Company

Bent Paddle is a craft brewery and taproom known for drinkable, balanced beers with an inventive edge, brewed with Lake Superior water. The brewery has won more than 65 awards, including Great American Beer Festival medals and a World Beer Cup bronze for its Bent Hop IPA. Its year-round and seasonal beers, along with hemp-derived canna beverages, are sold in cans and kegs at bars, liquor stores and restaurants across Minnesota.

The taproom serves beer by the glass, in 25.4 oz. crowlers, and in 64 oz. growlers to go. Bent Paddle is co-owned by two founding couples and runs a 30-barrel production brewery in Duluth's Lincoln Park neighborhood, where its taproom and offices are on West Michigan Street. Taproom hours run daily, with later closing on Friday and Saturday, and the brewery is open to visitors who are 21 and older.
