Castle Danger Brewery

Castle Danger Brewery Castle Danger Brewery is a production brewery & taproom located on Lake Superior in downtown Two Harbors MN at 1st Avenue & 7th Street.
(3931)

We have been brewing dangerously good ales on the North Shore of Lake Superior since 2011. After out-growing our 3-bbl brewhouse in Castle Danger, we opened a new location in downtown Two Harbors with a much larger brewing system, allowing us to brew enough beer to expand further into Minnesota and add a canning line. We distribute our beer in Minnesota to bars & restaurants to enjoy by the glass

and to liquor stores to buy canned beer. Our taproom is open year-round, with a fantastic patio overlooking Lake Superior. Castle Danger beers are all designed with a flavor profile in mind. We may start with a base style, but expand upon it to create something unique. There are hundreds of great beers that are true-to-style available in the beer market. We prefer to use traditional brewing practices to produce unique, flavorful beers. In our minds, this is the only way to approach brewing. Castle Danger Brewery started in 2011 as a small 3-barrel production brewery in Castle Danger, Minnesota, 12 miles northeast of Two Harbors off of Highway 61 at a small resort on Lake Superior. By the end of 2013, our expansion project began and we were soon knee-deep in construction during the coldest winter on record. Our steel building frame even showed up on a 26-below-zero day in January. We are now happy to be brewing in downtown Two Harbors on a 30-bbl brewing system, complete with a canning line and taproom that seats 130 people. The move into Two Harbors has also given us the opportunity to be brewing with the finest water available: fresh Lake Superior water.

An important read for those interested in the future of Minnesota's craft beverage industry.

For anyone looking to learn more about the proposed federal hemp-derived THC restrictions and their potential impact on breweries, beverage producers and small businesses, we've included a few resources below:

A federal ban approaching in November could wipe out Minnesota’s booming low-dose, hemp-THC edible market. Despite that, some breweries are continuing to make THC drinks up until the deadline and hope Congress steps in before it’s too late.

“We have to be full throttle,” said Omar Ansari, owner of Surly Brewing. “The plan has been, like most people in the industry, is fight like hell to either have a delay or to have this product regulated.”
