Since 2001, the number of craft breweries in Minnesota has been steadily increasing, from less than 50 all those decades ago to about 234 as of late 2024. Duluth has also become a craft beer haven, with one of the most popular and bustling being Canal Park Brewing Company. Located in its namesake, this hot spot has been around for more than a decade and for good reason. Famous for their award-winning beers and mouthwatering food, the brewery also just so happens to have the very best view in Duluth, located right along the shores of Lake Superior. Toss in a prime location, a dog-friendly patio and drinks crafted using water from the great lake and you have one brewpub that's simply hard to beat. Sandi Daytner, General Manager of Canal Park Brewing Company, joins us to shine a light on how this epic brewery came to be.
