After a long hard night of Scotch tasting, the Hedonists headed over to a long time staple of visitors in Duluth - Fitger's. There is certainly plenty to do there from shopping to eating. The purpose of our visit was to get a little "day after" nourishment. We were craving beer battered fries, burgers, and fried fish. We ambled over to the Fitger's Brewhouse Brewery and Grille to satisfy our cravings. Admittedly, we did skip partaking in a frosty cold brew or two. After having such a rich night of whisky, we felt the prudent thing to do was to refresh ourselves with copious amounts of ice water.
The fish and chips at the brewhouse are awesome and the
burgers are super yummy. As of right now, the brewhouse is using their own Scottish Highland cattle for some of the beef options on the menu. The plan is to use the local beef for more and more of the menu as time goes by and their herd increases. Raising their own cattle is not about being trendy, but really is more of a matter of practicality since the brewery sends the spent grain over to the farm to be used as feed. Beef that is mostly grass fed and then finished with spent grain from the brewery makes for some tasty eating.
Bottom line, if you find yourself wanting a burger and fries or fish and chips, we favor Fitger's Brewhouse.
Cheers!
