Pour some Finnegans

Dear Friends of Finnegans,

As a follow up to our recent e-newsletter, we have added another 11 tasting opportunities in the southern metro area, for a total of 35 tastings in the Twin Cities!! Thanks for the great response around the state for us to set up liquor store tastings – we even have friends in North Dakota who have stepped up to the plate to help us roll out Finnegans in North Dakota!!

Click here for the final liquore store tasting schedule for – we have loads more opportunities for folks to jump in and help!

Again the top prize for the most Finnegans sold at a tasting is $100 Target Gift Certificate for first place and 2 cases of Finnegans for second place!

We couldn’t do what we do without all of you fabulous volunteers!
Thanks so much for your ongoing support!!
