The scoop on All American Grill & Brewhouse
Here’s some further information straight from the source on All American Grill & Brewhouse. All American Grill and Brewhouse was founded by Jon LaPlant. Jon’s father’s ran Pizza America, a take and bake pizza shop. About four years ago, the shop was condemned by MNDOT to make a road into Buffalo and the plan to start All American Grill & Brewpub came as a result.
They relocated to Waverly, MN and have built a new building. According to Jon, he has beeninvolved with everything in the building from the silt fencing to the network. Jon hired a cook who started the Crostini Grille in Monticello and has been working with Tod Fyten (Mantorville Brewing) as a consultant.
The brewery came from the now-defunct Harwell’s Steakhouse & Brewery in Shakopee. Jon Crist, who was the brewmaster at Harwell’s, is lined up to brew. It’s an extract system and of course Jon knows it well. The initial plans for beers include a light lager and a red ale.
We’ll share more information as it becomes available!
