Our Canna Story

Out of pure homegrown love for that federally legal bud, Bent Paddle Brewing Co. was one of the first companies in Minnesota to start producing a legal hemp-derived CBD beverage for our Duluth taproom in late 2020. In July 2022, after the Minnesota Legislature passed the law allowing consumers age 21+ to purchase products containing hemp-derived THC, we enhanced our lineup by adding THC to our sparkling beverage and, shortly after that, edible hemp gummies.

Initially, we sold products directly to consumers in our taproom and online. We continue to sell at our Bent Paddle Taproom and have since added a variety of regional stores. Click here to find our edibles and beverages near you.

The pristine water of Lake Superior makes our non-alcoholic, zero and lower-calorie sparkling canna-infused beverages the best around. Like our beverages, our edible gummies are fun, fast-acting, and come in various delicious flavors and varieties.

Our legal Canna Products are available regionally at grocery, liquor stores, co-ops, and canna retailers. Canna Products can also be purchased and shipped through our online shop.
