Duluth Beer Wins a National Craft Beer Award

The Best of Craft Beer Awards were announced last week and a local brewer won with their Belgian-Style Witbier ale.

Blacklist Artisan Ales won the silver medal in the Belgian-Style Witbier category with Wit, they describe the beer as "Bright and light, with a touch of citrus and spice. Perfect in the boat, or in your coat. Let it put a little sunshine in your day, even during sweater weather."

5 other Minnesota breweries also won awards for their beers;  Indeed Brewing Company and Pryes Brewing Company from Minneapolis, Spilled Grain Brewhouse from Annandale, Third Street Brewhouse in Cold Spring and Waconia Brewing Company from, you guessed it, Waconia.
