(Have you tried their Apricot Wheat Beer? It’s crazy good.) On our way out of the complex, we passed through the courtyard where we held our wedding reception 2 years prior and saw there was another wedding reception underway that evening. It brought back such fun memories of that night, so I thought I’d post a few photos and share our experience in case anyone is considering tying the knot in Duluth. Just over two years ago, we held our wedding reception at The Fitger‘s Brewery Courtyard which overlooks the great Lake Superior, and the idea was to host a classic and elegant dinner party–not too fussy and overdone.

What do you have on the books for the next few days? Ken and I are heading north to my hometown, Duluth, MN for a weekend with family on Lake Superior. Did you guys hear Duluth recently won Outdoor Magazine’s Best Towns 2014 Contest? Located on a hill overlooking the largest freshwater lake (by surface area) in the world, Duluth’s water sports, hiking trails and beautiful views are endless! And speaking of outdoor activities, Grandma’s Marathon, an annual road race along Scenic Route 61 which draws runners from all over the globe, takes place this weekend. If you’re looking for a fun, summer activity, join us in heading up to Duluth to cheer on the runners followed by a micro-brew pint at Fitger’s Brewhouse! #duluthisacoolcity Whatever you decide to do, make it a great summer weekend!
