Finnegans Brew Co is sponsoring our July 28th happy hour. In 1999, Jacquie Berglund and Twin Cities pub owner Kieran Folliard teamed up to co-create the original FINNEGANS Irish Amber recipe with the James Page Brewing Company. But after learning about Paul Newman’s ground-breaking “give-back” business model powering his line of Newman’s Own products, Jacquie realized that simply brewing amazing beer wasn’t enough. 2018, FINNEGANS Brew Co. was born, with the opening of a production brewery and taproom in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. Finnegans is dedicate to alleviating hunger by donating funds to food shelves in Minneapolis and around the upper Midwest. When you enjoy their beers, you are contributing to their important work!
