FINNEGANS Brew Co. Celebrating Grand Re-Opening with May Day Festivities, as it Returns to Taproom Programming and Extended Hours

Via a News Release from FINNEGANS Brew Co.

May 1 Celebration to Include New Beers, Popular Favorites, Good Food, Music, and Social Entrepreneur Pop ups

Shake off cabin fever and join FINNEGANS Brew Co. for our May Day celebration as we welcome back our community of fans of local craft beer and doing good.

Enjoy pints of your favorite FINNEGANS brews and our latest releases, live music from Irish Diplomacy, social entrepreneur pop ups, Chicks on Wheels food truck, entertainment from Wild Rose Cloggers, and bagpipers from Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band

As a special opportunity, FINNEGANS Tap Room and Courtyard will host Breathe99 as it demonstrates the latest in facial mask technology and offers special deals on the B2 Mask named one of Time Magazines Top 100 Inventions of 2020. Similar to FINNEGANS mission of turning beer into food, Breathe99 works with non-profits and community-based organizations to better serve older populations, people with pre-existing conditions and those at higher risk due to health disparities. 

"We are excited to partner with FINNEGANS to make the re-opening event as safe and fun as possible for staff and patrons. Vaccines should give us all a reason to be hopeful; however, we still don't know about the long-term impacts of the variants, which is why our protective B2 Mask is one of the best methods to help ensure social businesses like FINNEGANS stay open today and in the future." Says Max Bock-Aronson, Co-Founder and Designer Engineer at Breathe99.

FINNEGANS will also be accepting food and other household donations for the House of Charity and St. Stephen’s Human Services. See the full list of accepted supply donations here

Learn more about the FINNOVATION Lab through connecting with the CEO, Connie Rutledge, and members of the FINNOVATION Fellowship Program and their mission to prepare changemakers to lead and launch sustainable social enterprises.

“We are so excited to be re-opening our doors officially – we are expanding our days and hours of operation and starting up taproom programming with hopes that we will not be forced to close again. Our Grand Re-opening will be a festive and joyous day in true FINNEGANS style, giving back to our community, connecting with social impact entrepreneurs, and of course our new summer beers and food from local favorite, Chicks on Wheels food truck.” Says Jacquie Berglund, Rambunctious Social Entrepreneur & CEO of FINNEGANS Brew Co, FINNEGANS Community Fund, and FINNOVATION Lab.

The lineup of summer favorites is varied and aims to please the palates of beer connoisseurs and casual sippers alike. Those taking center stage on May 1 include: 

  • Tile Factory: A Citrus forward Mosaic IPA with just the right amount of bitterness
  • Tipped Cow: A refreshing Belgian-inspired Saison
  • Bella Pilz: An Italian-style Pilsner, perfect for summer.
  • Blood Orange Pilsner: A dry Pilsner brewed with blood orange puree and notes of grapefruit and orange.
  • Kicked To The Herb: A Pale Ale brewed with hemp seeds and Citra, MN grown Zeus and Chinook hops to push the aromas of the hemp seed.
