The Star Telegram reports that Shannon Brewery will have "soft" opening in mid-July. That means next week to me. A soft opening is usually a "shake down cruise" for company employees, their families, media and dignitaries. I'm none of those. The grand opening should follow closely (late July?). Shannon makes Irish style ales. They will have a tasting room and a beer garden. Anyone interested? If so, I'll let you know as I hear more. Let's do this!
