This place is tucked in in the west side of the road. Not far from some of the other brews like Ursa minor in Bent Paddle.. it is tucked away into a building so it can be hard to find, not a lot of signage out front. Nice indoor space. The brewhouse is in the taproom. There’s ample outdoor seating on the west side of the building. The restrooms are a little stroll and you need the code from the bartender.I have merchandise and stickers and some beer to go. Decent selection. No food but I think you can carry stuff in.

Warrior is a great brewery owned by Vets and they do a lot for their community. You drink on kegs, sit on furniture made of kegs, order from pieces of kegs…and of couse, drink things made in kegs. They have a big open space with plenty of room to sit. They have live music from time to time and the service is very friendly. They have a fair variety of beer to choose from, they had 12 of theirs on (plus a seltzer) in my stop including: in imperial stout, a barrel aged imperial stout, a pale ale, honey golden, imperial red IPA, a marzen, American lager, cherry lager, blueberry lager, blackberry lager, and a raspberry lager, plus a really hoppy juicy hazy IPA. I am not a fruit beer person but the cherry and blueberry were not over sweet and really good. Both stouts are big and boozy. The marzen was really light, it disappeared quickly. Besides supporting a vet business, this place is great all on its own. Not fancy but definitely worth the stop.

Last night, I quickly stopped into Warrior Brewing Company in West Duluth to grab beer for a buddy before heading back home south of the Cities. My buddy is a current police officer, retired military veteran (with overseas deployments under his belt) and a former brewery owner, so he knows beer. I had never heard of this brewery prior to yesterday and found it on a whim doing a Google search.
Warrior was doing a fundraiser (unbeknownst to me) to save the Duluth armory and they were busy. I loved the fact the American flag was not something to be ashamed of, but was in full view behind the band, which is how it should be. Our troops have given their lives, both literally and those who were lucky enough to come home lost precious moments with their families and kids, so we can enjoy the freedoms we have, and to see certain breweries in the area (I won’t name them) so blatantly dislike our current and former military folk makes me angry. Warrior is the place for anyone who loves America, our flag, good beer and respect to visit. Are they a business? Certainly. But I could see the pride, ethics, core values of the military, clearly on display as they served each person, proud to be brewers and proud to be an American.
They also brew a Legion Lager, which gives a percentage back to the statewide American Legion.
I was treated with nothing but respect and kindness from the owners, patrons and everyone else I met in the few minutes I was there. I literally watched a couple different times where people in line said they wanted me to go ahead of them (I was still deciding and unsure of what was available to go). Good folks, good beer, great owners. Highly recommended.

This is one of our favorite breweries. Please do not believe the 1 negative review below about the bad beer. Warriors beers are excellent. Some even award winning. Like others have said…the location is just plain weird. But once you get past that this brewery is as good as any in town.
My one and only complaint is that they have some limited hours. Closing at 8pm most nights can chase away the after dinner crowds.

Wonderful Time! Wonderful Beer! Wonderful Staff! Military Family Owned and Operated!
I can’t express enough how amazing the experience we had was.
Pros
– Smiling Loving and Engaging Ownership/Staff
– Beer is Absolutley Fantastic. All the way from there Pilsners, to thier Bourbon Barrels Dark Beers and back around to the IPA’s.
– Facility is unbelievable when you get in there. Well laid out. Open concept. Inviting and interactive with your standard Board Games, arcade machines, and table games.
– Entertainment looks great. They have an amazing stage area and days they do live music and other entertainment. We didn’t get to experience the live music but WILL BE returning to Warrior Brewing.
Cons
– location and signage are a little sparce when coming to it at night. Google brings you to the entrance in the back which looks like a strip mall. Maybe A HUGE lit up sign that shows you where they are with fireworks. It’s an amazing place.
– We didn’t get to experience the live music or entertainment. (SOUNDS LIKE A PERSONAL PROBLEM)
P.S. They have the coolest flights on the planet.

Love it!! We first heard of Warrior at the 2021 All Pints North. They opened a tap room two months ago and we checked it out today! 25% off for military/veterans, great beer, friendly staff.

This place was okay. If you are a hazy IPA fan this is not the place for you. I’m sure their other beers are good here but I don’t recommend getting the hazy. We ended up not finishing the beers. I do however love the setup.

Picked this brewery in Duluth because we want to support veterans and 1st responders in the community. The beers are good, my fav was the Juicy Hazy IPA. They are in maybe the oddest location I have seen a brewery in. It is in a office building with a Dog Chiropractor?? The mugs they sell are super cool!

I like the layout compared to LSB. The brew I sampled was solid. Taking into the entire experience I wish they had outdoor seating. It’s a beautiful fall day.
