An official proclamation from the Governor’s Office making Nov. 1 “MN Beer Day” was presented at an event on Friday, the 27th of September at St. Paul Brewing, 688 Minnehaha Ave E, St Paul, MN 55106 (site of old Hamm’s Brewery). Friday is also the 130th Anniversary of Theodore Hamm’s Grand Opening on the buildings that still stand there. So was a celebration of Hamms as well!
Celebrating all three tiers of the three-tier system at the Friday event were: Brandt Erwin: MN Beer Wholesalers Assoc.; Tony Chesak, MLBA Executive Director; Bob Galligan: Craft Brewers Guild; and Paul Kaspszak: MMBA.
