FINNEGANS BREW CO to PARTNER with FULTON BREWING in PRODUCTION and TAPROOM MOVE
The Unique FINNEGANS Residency at Fulton will Provide Continued Community Commitment and Favorite Beers to Minneapolis and Upper Midwest
(MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 23) – FINNEGANS Brew Co is shifting production from its East Town Minneapolis brewery and moving into the Fulton Brewery complex in a unique partnership between two of Minneapolis’ beloved craft breweries.
The pioneering social benefits beer company has formed a brewing union with Fulton in which it will serve its flagship beers out of Fulton’s North Loop taproom billed as FINNEGANS Residency at Fulton.
“We are extremely excited to begin this new chapter for FINNEGANS in collaboration with Fulton Brewing,” said Jacquie Berglund, FINNEGANS Brew Co. Founder, CEO & Rambunctious Social Entrepreneur. “Finding a brewery with shared values and a strong cultural fit was just as important as their brewing capabilities. Our overall mission and longstanding commitment to creating healthy communities remains unchanged.”
“We love FINNEGANS and the incredibly positive impact they have made on our community,” said Fulton CEO Ryan Petz. “We are honored to be able to produce and soon offer FINNEGANS at our taproom for fans of both our brands. We see this as a positive evolution for the craft beer scene in Minneapolis.”
Fulton will begin producing all FINNEGANS beer at its Northeast Minneapolis production facility. By early fall, FINNEGANS beers will be available on draft and sold to-go at Fulton’s North Loop taproom. In addition, the two like-minded breweries will periodically collaborate on events, including FINNEGANS long-running St. Patrick’s Day celebration. FINNEGANS will continue to be independently owned and operated, with distribution across Minnesota and neighboring states.
The FINNEGANS Taproom will be open through August 31, then transitioned to Mosaic to expand its innovative third-floor event space into a new concept to be unveiled on the first two floors of the building. All private events currently booked at FINNEGANS will be honored. Any private events taking place after August 31 will be operated by Mosaic Venue.
To celebrate this next chapter, FINNEGANS will donate 50 cents per pint sold in the taproom through the end of August to the FINNEGANS Community Fund, continuing to build on its mission to turn beer into food for those experiencing food insecurity.
“We are very excited to work with the Fulton team in creating an innovative partnership
between urban breweries that have all faced so many challenges beyond our control over the
past few years,” added Berglund. “Through it all, we’ve retained our entrepreneurial spirit and drive for creating positive change. We’re excited about being able to channel our energy into continued growth and reimagining a new future for FINNEGANS.”
Further details regarding FINNEGAN’S Residency at Fulton will be available in coming weeks.
