Ryan and I took a short trip up to Lake Superior over the weekend ... here's some highlights. (Also known as the "beers I drank" because the Duluth/Superior area are blessed with a couple of great microbreweries.)
 |
| Thirsty Pagan Brewing was the first spot we hit after checking into our hotel. I found them on the Internet and was lured there with the promise of hand-crafted beers and gourmet pizza. We were not disappointed with either promise. |
|
|
 |
| This is the Burntwood Black. I think I could drink this beer every day for the rest of my life. They even use it to make brownies. |
|
|
 |
| Ryan had the North Coast Amber. |
|
|
Rest assured though - our trip wasn't all beer tasting. I caught a sunrise on Lake Superior en route to the Barkers Island Farmers Market.
Later, there were ships to be watched in Duluth in Canal Park.
 |
| I could watch ships all day ... there is something amazing about seeing a vessel that's about the size of a football field come into this tiny little canal and make its way towards the docks. |
|
|
But also - there was more beer ... these pictures were taken at Fitger's Brewhouse.
 |
| This was my chocolate cherry stout. It was like dessert in a pint. |
 |
| Ryan went with the El Nino Pale Ale. Very good, very hoppy. |
In short, it was a great weekend. Even if you can see the tan lines from around my sunglasses.
