Good Word Brewing & Public House

Good Word Brewing & Public House is a brewery and full-service restaurant in Duluth, built around the traditional idea of a neighborhood public house. Owner and brewer Todd DiMatteo leads the beer program, while Executive Chef Brian Crain oversees a kitchen that emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and relationships with local and family farms. Rather than treating food as an add-on to the taproom, Good Word gives the brewery and restaurant equal billing, making it a strong option for visitors looking for a complete meal alongside house-brewed beer. Its brewing program covers a wide range of styles, including lagers, English-inspired ales, wheat beers, pale ales, and sour beer. The overall experience is deliberately community-focused, with an emphasis on conversation, hospitality, and creating a gathering place for the surrounding neighborhood.
