New Update! Late August 09 (Book production is underway!) Love at the Pub: The Insider's Guide to Craftsmanship, Conversation, and Community at the Brick Store Pub
The underdog love affair story between America's #2 beer bar and her people. A true local tale—an All-American story.Told through over 200 local and national voices, Love at the Pub captures the magical history of three fresh-faced young men who opened a bar in 1997 on a small southern town Square in need of revitalization. The Brick Store Pub became an overnight sensation and thrives to this day along with the award-winning City of Decatur, Georgia, “where Mayberry meets Berkeley” six miles due east of downtown Atlanta.
"A perfect, delightful snapshot of what our community-minded Pub is all about." --Dave Blanchard, Brick Store Pub co-owner and beer bar visionary
