Minnesota Laws Force Barley John’s Brew Pub To Move Across The Border To Wisconsin

From the Post Bulletin:

The owner of a brewpub in New Brighton is frustrated with a Minnesota law that says he can't sell his craft beer on store shelves — so he's decided to build a new brewery across the border in Wisconsin.

John Moore, owner of Barley John's Brew Pub, plans to break ground this spring on a new 10,000-barrel brewery in New Richmond, Wis., and hopes to start selling beer in the fall. His brewpub has been making beer for 14 years and has won awards, yet some craft beer aficionados have never heard of Barley John's because it's not on tap in other bars or sold in liquor and beer stores, he said.
