Bent Paddle Brewing Co.® is a 30-barrel production craft brewery and taproom located in the beautiful Great Lakes port town of Duluth, Minnesota. The brewers of Bent Paddle Brewing Co.® use the amazing water of Lake Superior to brew the freshest and most dependable craft beer possible. Lake Superior is 10% of the worlds fresh water and 100% of our beer is made with that water. It is incredibly soft and mimics the water of Pilsen, Czech Republic, the birthplace of Pilseners. Our flagship beers, as well as specialty seasonal offerings, are available in varied keg sizes as well as 12 oz. cans at bars, liquor stores, restaurants and event facilities throughout Minnesota and beyond, as well as by the glass or 64oz. growler to go in our on-site taproom.

The Bent Tap features our current marketplace offerings as well as some experimental versions of our beers for sale by the glass in a family-friendly neighborhood bar scene. Feel free to order food for delivery from a bevy of great local restaurants to enjoy in the taproom. We also have gift cards and Bent Paddle merchandise for sale and you can fill up a 64oz. glass, stainless steel Kleen Kanteen, or insulated Hydro Flask growler of fresh beer to go!
