Bent Paddle Flips City Street Into Year-Round Green Space
July 6, 2021
DULUTH, Minn.– The dreary weather on Tuesday was actually perfect for Bent Paddle Brewing Company’s new green space in development on what used to be a city street.
It’s located on 19th Avenue West between the brewery and Bent Paddle’s production warehouse in Duluth’s Lincoln Park Craft District, which was approved by the city.
The goal is to not only drink beer year-round on the space, but also become a hot spot for entertainment and events that support other local businesses, organizations and artists.
“We made it a point to reach out to our partners, and even just like sharing the dream of what this could potentially be down here. It’s a crafter’s space, it’s a maker’s space, it’s an entrepreneurial playground over here, so if somebody has an idea and they would like to execute it, this is the place to do it,” said Pepin Young, director of the taproom and retail operations.

Lower Michigan Street, from near 21st Avenue West to West Michigan Street, closed Monday as part of the Twin Ports Interchange Project.
It will reopen in October as a temporary two-lane by-pass to carry southbound I-35 traffic through fall of 2022.
This is just one many closures that Lincoln Park businesses have had to contend with through-out the year already.
Millie Tuura, the store manager of Auto Value right off of Lower Michigan Street, said these closures have mainly been affecting the store’s delivery drivers.
“Their routes have to kind of change and it takes a little bit more time getting to places,” she explained. “That’s a little bit harder for customers too because [as] we have to try to get stuff delivered quickly as we can.”
