Breaking bread for Irish Fair fundraiser

A group of the Twin Cities’ most beloved Irish and Irish-Americans have been baking up a fundraiser. They’ll be selling two types of Irish soda bread with a Minnesota twist in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and in support of the Irish Fair of Minnesota. There will be classic brown soda bread and a beer-bread version featuring Finnegan’s Dead Irish Poet Extra Stout. The bread is being produced at Baker’s Field Flour & Bread in the Food Building in NE Minneapolis. Sales begin Friday March 5th and run through the 21st. The bread can be purchased for $6 at Kieran’s Kitchen and Irish on Grand in St. Paul.
