Love at the Pub Book Party 

Picture Book Synopsis  I  GALLERY

The underdog love affair story between America's #2 beer bar and its community.

When three bootstrapping young men opened the visionary Brick Store Pub in 1997, the neighborhood was smitten. Economic renaissance and properly poured pints swept the City of Decatur as a unique culture began to grow inside this relaxed, community-minded pub.
