I loved writing about this legendary beer
bar based in Atlanta for one of the dopest sites in the beer world.

Whaddup!
I just got back from Denver, but while I was there, I was
excited to see that the Web’s authority of craft beer justly called CraftBeer.com posted my article featuring
the 20 years of one of the world’s most revered beer bars, Decatur, GA’s own Brick Store Pub.

I have a little history with CraftBeer.com; I know many
of them (especially their brilliant editor Jess),
and they did a dope article on me
not too long ago that had a brother floored! Well, since I never wrote for
them, Jess loved the idea I pitched to them: a feature highlighting the 20th
year of Brick Store being in business. She happily said, "go for it!" With
that, I put the pressure on myself to kill it and go extra hard. Don’t
get me wrong, I give every article I pen full dedication, but personally
knowing the Brick Store Pub staff for years and with the BSP being one of my favorite spots to
chill, this had to be next-level work in a lot of ways. Trust me, it’s often
more difficult to write about something you know a lot about because you want
the world to know as much as possible, hence editing becomes the most laborious.
This article was undoubtedly one of the most challenging I have ever written,
but also one of the best in my opinion. Plus, I had the liberty of shooting
whatever I wanted as well, so I went all in while learning about everyone involved
during the process. Shout outs to Dave, Todd, Ryan, Mike, Tom, Erin, Dan and
everyone else who helped with this article.
I hope you enjoy this piece, because I meant every word.
Here’s to two decades of being gangster, Brick Store. I am
on my way to the pub celebrate it!
And to my readers of this blog, I love y’all! Your support
keeps me going and loving what I do.
Ale
