7 West TapHouse hosts fundraiser for victims of Hermantown house explosion

DULUTH, Minn. — Nearly two weeks after an explosion at the Green Acres Townhomes killed two residents and affected others, 7 West TapHouse is serving up pints to help.

The 7 West TapHouse on Maple Grove Rd is hosting a fundraiser to support residents impacted by the large blast.

Proceeds of pint sales from Blacklist Brewing, Castle Danger Brewing and Bent Paddle Brewing will be donated to the cause.

There’s also a separate donation option on receipts, and cash donations are also accepted.

“It’s taking me by surprise, but not really at the same time, I think that the partnership with the breweries didn’t take me by surprise at all, and then it’s crazy to see how many people have donated already, and how much they’re willing to donate,” Daniel Duffy, 7 West TapHouse bartender and server said.

Since the fundraiser started last Friday, more than $700 has been raised.
