USA, MN: Warrior Brewing Company changing ownership in May

A veteran owned brewery in Duluth will be staying open after announcing they would be closing in April on their social media, Fox21Online reported on April 9.

Warrior Brewing Company located in the Lincoln Park Craft District made the announcement in January asking if anyone would be interested in buying the business.

A couple, Ben and Mary Anderson are now the soon to be owners of the brewery. The couple is known to the area and owns Eddie’s restaurant in Superior. Ben says the business will have the same mission as well as serving great craft beer.

“Going forward I know, we’re excited and hope to bring a lot of awareness to Warrior. You know their mission, their story, kind of their whole idea we really like. It’s you know veteran owned, founded supports a lot of veteran causes but then also first responder,” said Ben Anderson, new owner of Warrior Brewing.

During the summer the brewery will host food trucks every day and offer live music on the weekends hoping to get more people visiting.

“We are getting a billboard actually by Carlton so on the way up here so, that should kind of help visibility with tourism. But just really to get the name out there really to capture more or less the Twin Ports,” said Anderson. “And then even to expand south, I’m from 2 hours south St. Croix Falls. So, even down towards the cities, Forest Lake, even towards like Eau Claire I think this story can travel.”

The Anderson’s will take over full ownership of Warrior Brewing in May. Summer hours are Tuesday through Saturday noon to 8 p.m., Sunday noon to 6 p.m. They are closed Mondays.
