====Fitger's Brewery==== [[File:Fitger's Brewery Museum 02.jpg|thumb|Copper brew kettle installed in 1901, at the [[Fitger's Brewing Company|Fitger Brewery Museum]]]] The [[Fitger's Brewing Company|original brewery]] was built in 1857 on a stream that came to be known as Brewery Creek; it was purchased by Michael Fink in 1881 and moved downstream to its present location on Superior Street. [[Fitger Brewing Company|Fink's Lake Superior Brewery]] hired a new [[brewmaster]], August Fitger, a graduate of one of Germany's premier brewing schools, and the brewery was renamed A. Fitger & Co. / Lake Superior Brewery. The brewery then became successful and stayed in operation even through [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]], but closed in 1972 after 115 years of operation, making it Duluth's oldest business. The complex reopened in 1984 and contains a [[Microbrewery|craft brewery]], several restaurants, hotels, shops, and a museum. Fitger's Brewery Complex is listed in the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fitger's |url=http://fitgers.com/fitgers-history/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170710133750/http://fitgers.com/fitgers-history/ |archive-date=July 10, 2017 |access-date=July 26, 2017}}</ref>
