About Duluth Loves Local

We are a grassroots movement that wants consumers to think local first, and by doing so, positively impact the place we call home: Duluth. We feature and support hard-working Duluth businesses to show the community the diverse business community that make our city so great. We want to create a community of people who value the artisanal details, hard work, and craft that drive our Duluth businesses.

Blacklist Taproom Opening Summer 2016 in Downtown Duluth

We are so excited…

Local artisan brewery, Blacklist, announced on Sunday it will be opening a taproom downtown.
