2009-11-19 10:09:11 - The Herkimer Pub & Brewery Celebrates 10 Years in Minneapolis Minneapolis, MN – Blake Richardson, owner of The Herkimer Pub & Brewery announced that The Herkimer will celebrate its 10th Anniversary in the Lynn-Lake neighborhood of Minneapolis. The celebration party will be on December 5, 2009. There will be $1 tap beers all day long and retro prices on food specials as well. Music, Herkimer trivia, prizes, and classic Herkimer gear will be available.
Richardson has always had a passion for the Uptown area of Minneapolis. “I enjoy the energy and eclecticism of the people in the neighborhood”, he stated, “so much so I opened my second establishment, moto-i, just a few doors down.” He believes that the area continues to thrive by the new stores and restaurants that have grown up in the area, as well as an influx of residents in several new apartment and condominium residences.
While some things have changed in the neighborhood, The Herkimer has stayed true to its original concept. As a brewer, Richardson had an affinity for German style Lagers, and has handcrafted the offerings on tap (quite a few of which are award winning). The Herkimer has a come-as-you-are attitude and is welcoming to everyone, including Green Bay Packer fans. The Herkimer is known as “The Packer Bar” in Minneapolis and annually hosts a tent party on the night the local Vikings travel to Green Bay to play.
The menu has had two classics survive all ten years as well: The Herkiburger and the Puerco Sandwich. Although it is fan favorites like the mini-burgers and award-winning sweet potato French fries that keeps fans coming back. The shuffleboard games and the new “Boggle Breakfast” (soon to become a fulltime offering) are crowd-pleasers.
Richardson looks forward to his next ten years in the neighborhood: “We’ve grown to have a serious following, by taking our food and beer seriously, and not taking ourselves too seriously. We thrive on kitsch and schtick and as long as we keep that, we hope to be celebrating another ten years!”
