6 Breweries in Duluth That You Shouldn't Miss
Perfectly positioned at the westernmost tip of sparkling blue Lake Superior, Duluth offers visitors a true escape from the stresses of everyday life and an opportunity to enjoy nature. You can opt for a more leisurely pace: spending time at one of the city's 23 beautiful parks, taking an unhurried drive along the scenic North Shore, bird watching at Hawk Ridge, skipping stones on the Lake with the kids. Or go for a more structured itinerary: the aquarium in the morning, lunch at a sumptuous restaurant on the waterfront plus a tour of the famous Sculpture Walk, then a visit to the historic Railroad Depot in the afternoon. Either way, you are sure to leave Duluth feeling relaxed and refreshed.

We came to Duluth for two nights from the Cities and wanted to immerse ourselves in the beer scene. This was our first brewery and ended up being our favorite. They had a great selection. I especially found their porter delicious (I think they had more than one). We ended up staying for 3 or so instead of 2 because it was a cozy taproom with lots of games. We ended up playing multiple games. I would definitely go back. I wish we would have gotten some growlers to go. They also seemed to have great merchandise.

One of the nicer breweries in the area. It was their Octoberfest. Nice friendly staff with a great beer selection. We sat at the bar and watched the staff, they were very busy but always gave the customers their full attention. I would go back and visit again. Again - good beer selection.

In the heart of the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota, the Wild State Cidery taproom is adjacent to other craft breweries and producers. Our winery taproom features 12+ ciders on tap, light food, Vermont style soft serve ice cream, and plenty of packaged cider to go. Our ciders are made without concentrates, sorbates, or any added sugar. Space is ample and we operate an air purification system to filter and circulate all taproom air. The patio is dog friendly and open throughout the year.

Popped in late afternoon to see this wonderful new space in Duluth! Greeted by friendly staff with recommendations for amazing dry cider. The tasting room is full of natural light and has a beautiful “living wall” of vibrant plants. We ordered the charcuterie board full of delicious treats. Relaxing, lovely and refreshing. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I were in Duluth celebrating our anniversary and we wanted to explore another area in Duluth as we have previously enjoyed the Canal Park area. Lincoln Park was recommended as an up and coming area. We stopped at Duluth Cider when they opened for the day. Very clean. We both tried different flights of the ciders. I enjoyed the more drier ones and he the sweeter ones. We both found one we thoroughly enjoyed and took with us a crowler and a growler of the tasty ciders. This overall area is still a work in progress but this Cidery is a wonderful gem. We are glad we tried it and will make it a planned visit on all our upcoming visits to Duluth.
