Opening Day at The Four Firkins, originally uploaded by MNBeer.

Dawn and I stopped into The Four Firkins on Saturday before leaving for an overnight at Camden State Park on Saturday. I was impressed. While The Four Firkins may not be the largest beer store in the Twin Cities, the selection, aesthetics and Alvey’s friendly and helpful enthusiasm more than make up for that fact. There’s just not a bad beer in the store – no crap… no BMC, no liquor (in plastic bottles or otherwise), no attitude. Dawn noticed a reoccurring theme when hearing the description of a number of special beers as “frickin’ amazing.” I was like a kid in a candy store… trying to make conversation and yet trying to soak up all of the good beer and also hit the road in a relatively short amount of time. Easier said than done. I highly recommend you visit The Four Firkins… word on the street is that the place is FRICKIN’ AMAZING. 🙂

Here’s another sneak peek at The Four Firkins, set to open their doors this Saturday in St. Louis Park.  The store has beer, the website is up and the Grand Opening is set for June 14th.

Here are a couple of photos as a tease of what’s to come at The Four Firkins in St. Louis Park. Carpeting has been removed, floors have been installed, walls have been painted and fridges and shelving arrive next week. More importantly, Jason’s ordering beer soon. The grand opening is slated for May 24th… if only I could make it! Urgh.
