Get so green
It’s been a few years since we cozied into a booth at Dubh Linn Irish Brew Pub to ladle some rich, meaty stew straight down our throats.

It was part of an investigation into the beef and root veggies at the center of Irish eating. We found, in their Piper’s Feast, meat braised with shallots, onions and tomatoes, a thick gravy, slow-cooked meat made so tender that it almost dissolved. St. Patrick’s Day calls for a return visit for takeout from the Superior St. restaurant which will be open for live and in-person celebration as well. They’re offering a made-from-scratch menu and live music. Go get green.
It’s not exactly musical breweries up here in Duluth, but it’s close.
In late 2019, Lake Superior Brewing, which had been Duluth’s oldest craft brewery (it was founded in 1994), shut down its West Duluth production facility. The following summer, Seth and Sarah Maxim, who have backgrounds in brewing and restaurants, bought the business. But they’re affixing the Lake Superior Brewing name to a new brewpub they’re opening on the other side of town in the Lakeside/Lester Park neighborhood. Meanwhile, the old Lake Superior facility is now home to brand-new company called Warrior Brewing.
Both breweries are working hard to be up and running this summer, when (we all hope) beer drinking will once again be a communal activity. Still, the Duluth area has plenty of established craft brewpubs and brewers, including well-known brands like Bent Paddle and Castle Danger. Is there room for two newcomers? Here’s how they plan to distinguish themselves.

One of Britain s most famous seaside towns has a rich history and regularly attracts visitors from all over the world.
Here are 10 things you may not know about the Lancashire town.
1. Blackpool gets its name from an old drainage channel that would release dark boggy water into the Irish Sea where it would literally form a black pool of water. Dublin, which is situated on the other side of the sea, is named for the very same thing, ‘Dubh Linn’ means black pool in Irish.
2. Notorious serial killer and bigamist George Smith murdered his second wife Alice Burnham while on their honeymoon to Blackpool, the killings soon became known as the ‘Brides in the Bath Murders’.
Dublin Port s Future Lines of Development Affect Us All
30th January 2021 Our jewel and darling Dublin…. Far from being seen as a problem, the intertwining of the city, port and sea should be thought of as something to cherish and develop
Dublin and its Port. The City and the Sea. The Culture and the Commerce. The Buzz and the Business. The sense of real working and creative life, with the romance of the ocean and the hint of salty far horizons, vibrantly cheek by jowl with a thriving yet cosy civic core in a strong dynamic that inspires art and literature while providing a special enjoyment of life.
