My tripping partner and I recently returned from our annual BWCA trip. When possible, we always try to stop either on the way up or back as we pass through Duluth at the Bent paddle tasting room. They expanded operations last year and moved to a new location I block away from the original spot. They out did themselves! The building is an old turn of the century 3 story brick building that formerly housed a family owned furniture store. They don't serve food, but on weekends there is normally a food truck parked out front and there are several neighborhood restaurants that offer delivery service. Hanging as decorations on the exposed wooden columns are handmade paddles from local craftsmen. They offer about a dozen of their beers on tap. Attached is a photo of their coaster.....
