“Love at the Pub” Finally Tapped
Decatur Metro | November 11, 2009
Brick Store lovers have pined for the release of Mary Jane Mahan’s “Love at the Pub” even longer than they have been anxiously drooling over the fine craft beers aging patiently in the Brick Store’s cold celler.
I first reported Mahan’s book of BSP stories way back in October 2007 – only about a month after the birth of this blog – when Mahan offered her card to a soused DM and his wife at the Decatur Beer Festival. And though the road to publication proved a bit bumpy, Mahan has finally completed her tribute to the Pub where she once worked.
Released TODAY, “Love at the Pub” includes many a Brick Store memory along with…
- How the Brick Store became rated the #2 beer bar on planet Earth
- What local building used to sit on the site of 125 E Court Square
- How the Georgia beer law fight was won (and who to thank)
- Why the second floor bar makes you swear you’re in Europe
Buy your book on Amazon today and enter your confirmation # on the Love at the Pub website and Mahan promises many extras; the most delectable being a free pint at the Brick Store.
Pick up your copy today and see why tears filled Mayor Floyd’s eyes “with Brick Store pride” when he read it.

I went to Amazon just now. They told me I’d have to stand outside my front door for an hour before I could purchase the book.
Ha! I love Brick Store wait-time jokes.
Can’t you just go next door to Zucca and buy one of their books without a wait?

It would be a nice Decatur-touch to offer something extra when the book is purchased through one or more of our local bookstores.
