From the Love at the Pub website

We first learned about Mary Jane Mahan’s “Love at the Pub” at the 2007 Beer Festival.

The former BSP waitress was compiling a definitive collection of Brick Store stories and was planning on releasing them to the world in one compact, celebratory package (called a “book”)  Note to self:  You know you have a successful pub, when someone writes a book about it.

Though it seems that the collection and writing process took longer than first believed – we’ve heard many updates and rumors over the years – it sounds like the wait is finally over!  Amy writes in and lets us know that the book is finally at the publisher.  I’m still waiting on an official release date (the book’s website says “June 09″), but in the meantime we might as well drink!

Also from Amy…
