It holds the sound of the room, the taste of the beer, the people at the next table, and the little moment that made the stop worth remembering. That is how My Brewery Sticker Book started for me.

A special night to toast those brave souls eager to be the first to sip in our taproom wonderland. Now, why 255? That's the number of breweries from which we had snagged stickers by then. Yes, stickers! Because who doesn't love a g

One day, we decided to take the scenic route from Chisholm, MN, back to our home in Maplewood, MN. This detour led us through Moose Lake, MN, where we spotted a sign that read "Moose Lake Brewery coming soon." Our curiosity was pinged, and our taste buds were tingling! So, naturally, we made it our weekly mission to crui

You know those friends who stick around forever, the ones you get up to all sorts of wild and unforgettable shenanigans with? Well, that's us. Take Jeff, for instance, a Bud Light aficionado, and Helen, who swears by her Miller Genuine Draft. Once upon a time, we embarked on a grand adventure to St. Paul with two of our pals for a Minnesota Wild game. Brian, our resident dark beer enthusiast, convinced us to hit up Great Waters Brewery after the game. I remember it vividly be
