Ursa Minor Brewing

We are excited to announce that Ursa Minor Brewing is coming to the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota this summer! We have been working on this for a long time and are finally entering the construction phase of project! Our team is assembled, and we are ready to get down and dirty to make our dreams a reality.
Ursa Minor Brewing will be a small 5bbl brewery built to serve our taproom with a large selection of rotating styles of beer. We appreciate all styles of beer, and we appreciate that every style of beer has unique qualities to be desired. Our taproom will also be supplemented by a wood fired oven which will supply a selection of artisan Napolitano style pizzas made from the highest quality ingredients.
Ursa Minor Brewing was the dream of two brothers, Ben and Mark Hugus. Their vision has grown and developed and, after four years, thousands of hours of work, a lot of support from friends and family, it is becoming a reality. We chose the name “Ursa Minor” because of the role craft beer has played in our lives. It is derived from the constellation, Ursa Minor or the Little Dipper, which contains the North Star.
Throughout history, people across the world have used the North Star as a guiding light, or an anchor point, in the night sky to navigate their way across our wondrous and mysterious world. Craft beer is our guiding light and has brought us into the amazing craft beer community.
