There are many things that I have come to enjoy about having this site to share information and one of those things is getting to pass along articles and stories that are sent to me by other people. I do a fair amount of reading on the internet about beer in various capacities, but there is no way that I can come close to catching everything there is out there. It is especially great when people pass along stories from their local publications and Erin sent me a good one from all the way up in Minnesota. I hear that computers actually freeze and stop working up there soon, so I am glad that she was able to get it to me before that happens!

This is a good interview with a “beer guy” from a big liquor store up in that area. I find it fascinating mostly because I would like to be a “beer guy,” but also because he answers a lot of good questions like how he chooses what beer to stock and how he starts someone down the path of appreciating beer. Take a look before you make your next beer run.
