Bent Paddle unveils limited-time beer to celebrate USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul commissioning

Bent Paddle unveiled a new commemorative beer Wednesday evening at Bent Paddle Brewing in Duluth.

The Wayfinder Freedom North Star Pale Ale was brewed to commemorate the commissioning of the USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

The limited time beer is available for purchase at Bent Paddle Brewing.

“It’s a fabulous beer,” said Bill James, president of the Navy League of the United States Minnesota Council. “I’m a very big proponent of craft beers here in the state of Minnesota and Laura and her team here have been fabulous to work with. They put a lot of energy and creativity in this.”

The USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul will be commissioned Saturday at the Port of Duluth.
