I love Alvey and The Four Firkins. I was in today, and he said that Dogfish Head is on its way to MN. Check out my blog for more information: http://minneapolismichael.tumblr.com

And I agree with you, I’d rather spend $20 on a two or three nice craft beers to share with friends than on a single bottle of mediocre wine.

Nice story. Got some romance, an international aspect, good old Yankee entrepreneurialism, and craft beer all rolled into one. Booze is one of the most regulated businesses in the U.S. these days, adding to the challenges of starting a beer store. Craft beer seems to be a force that is here to stay hopefully, and in tough economic times it is a relatively affordable luxury.
