Great brewery in a blue-collar warehouse district of Superior close to the waterfront and just off the high bridge and just a hop skip and a jump from Duluth, MN. The building is old looking and there's a music stage and open area on the right side of the taproom as you enter. Two door fridge of can, bottle, crowler offerings, a one room rectangular bar with essentially all their beers on tap as they are availible, old looking bar because it is, walls and ceiling, antiques here and there, lots of vintage photos and paintings of ore tankers, fishing vessels, tall ships, pleasure boats and Lake Superior's rich maritime history. Earth Rider's beers are excellent, staff are knowledgeable, cool and ready to serve you. These good folks are passionate about Earth Rider and their beers. Beer has been brewed and served on this site since about 1912. Made for the working harbor. There's an apartment above the Cedar Lounge Taproom that was the innkeeper's quarters from long ago that rents by the night.

The Cedar Lounge is an old tavern and once you walk in and get the aroma, it smells like an old Wisconsin dive bar. I don't think that smell ever comes out of a building. Walls are covered with taxidermy and old photographs of ore ships. I don't know how many pictures of old ships is too much, but I think the Cedar Lounge has exceeded that amount by quite a bit. Old bar, old copper ceiling that is painted over, old fixtures so it all has a rustic feel. Plenty of different beers available. Nice selection of beers not distributed outside of the brewery. The two beers I had were tasty. The traditional beers are very traditional and well done. Interesting that their seltzers were 9.5% ABV. The staff were friendly and know their beer.

Mrs. Redrover and I stopped by for a few beers after having a late lunch at the nearby and somewhat famous Anchor Bar.

As you enter, you will see the horseshoe shaped bar that dominates the room. There are also some tables and the walls has lots of great old photos on them.

The September day was nice, so went out the beer garden. It is massive and well laid out. Firepits, stage area, tons of tables. I like their outdoor mural, its a nice touch.

Service was at the bar and it was fast and professional. They had to work hard to keep up with the thirsty patrons.

I thought their beers were solid and I thought enough of them to order them at some taverns over in the Ashland, WI area.

An old tavern with old photos of the shipping industry of the area on Lake Superior, across the inlet from Duluth. Wood and brick, with some old artifacts hanging from the walls and ceiling. Old, horse shoe shaped, wooden bar. Most of the beers are mediocre to decent, and are very thin bodied.

Earth Rider's taproom is in the historic Cedar Lounge. The Cedar Lounge was the original tasting room for the Northern Brewing Company. There is a lot of history here. The beers are all well made and they have a wide variety of styles on tap. Outside there is space for concerts and events as well. I cannot recommend Earth Rider enough.

Very well made beer , just getting rolling. Cedar Lounge is the taproom, formerly a Superior bar. The brewery is next door. The barroom is long rectangular as is the bar. Beer garden outside. The walls are filled with pictures of the Great Lakes and the ships that have sailed them. A spot in the back for live music. Food is frozen pizza. The raspberry imperial stout may be their most impressive beer but their North Tower stout just won bronze at the World Beer cup. Very solid pale and India pale ale. Also great examples of Helles, Pilsner and sour. Very friendly, quick service and great vibe from clientele. Good tunes at a moderate volume. Busy but usually not hard to find a place to sit. Relaxing place to enjoy good beer and music most nights.
