Ursa Minor Celebrates Oktoberfest and Anniversary

DULUTH, Minn. — It’s all Lederhosen and beer steins as Ursa Minor Brewing is holding their annual Oktoberfest.

The cultural celebration, which also doubles as the brewery’s 7th anniversary party, is a rain-or-shine event, with the weather not putting a damper on the festivities.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get the best weather, but that’s all right, we have plenty of covered space under our pergola inside, we’ve got lots of space (in our building),” said the brewery’s Founder Ben Hugus.

“We’ve got music going all weekend, so two or three bands a day all the way through Sunday, and lots of fun festivities, from sign holding, to our farmer who takes our grain at the brewery is bringing one of his cows down here on Sunday to exhibit it, which is kind of fun.”

The party and events continue from Sept. 18 to Sept. 21.
