Duluth Brewhouse Starfire Pale Ale

Duluth Brewhouse Starfire Pale Ale. 6 % ABV. 59 IBU.
Duluth Brewhouse Pale Ale Beer. It's the beers of Fitger's Brewhouse in Duluth, but not the beer brewed there. Contract-brewed by others, and not able to be called "Fitger's", nonetheless these are the same recipes as the pint you'd down at the pub & restaurant on Superior Street.


Clear, bright golden, slim white head.

In the nose: Big citrus. Nicely hopped.

In the mouth: Pops with grapefruit, orange, lemon. Juicy bitterness. Delicious malt base. Smooth and expertly consumable. Crisp, refreshing, and just as tasty as you want a pale ale to be. Lovely bitterness, absolutely beautiful.

If you're interested in my notes from a growler of the Fitger's brewed Starfire from going on seven years ago, check them out here.

Our signature North Shore style pale always on tap. A hop first balanced pale using American and German malts and all American hops. Stronger in hops then the usual pale but not at an IPA level. The beer the brewers drink. During the course of the year we brew about 20 different pale recipes but they all flow from the source STARFIRE.
