"Surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest, the small town of Walker, Minnesota, is a port to Walker Bay on the western edge of Leech Lake, and is a thoroughfare for bicycles, canoes, kayaks, motorized boats, and all kinds of nature lovers.

It’s only natural then that the aesthetic of the town’s new brewery, Portage Brewing Company, is just as intertwined with the outdoors."
