The Four Firkins is expanding!
The Four Firkins is Minnesota's only specialty beer store. We've been selling you fresh craft beer for almost six years and we've had an amazing time getting to know you.

The time has come for us to grow this business to a larger, more sustainable size. We want to continue to offer you competitive prices and give back to the community in a bigger way. As many of you know, large out-of-state liquor store chains are entering Minnesota. Small, privately-owned specialty stores may soon become a thing of the past. The Four Firkins needs to open a new store in order to keep being competitive in our changing market. We want to offer you our unique shopping experience by opening a new store in Woodbury, Minnesota. This will be the second of five stores total. Eventually there'll be one very close to you!

The Woodbury location will be more than an additional store. It will be the first step in cementing The Four Firkins as a sustainable business model that will survive and grow into the future. With increased purchasing power we can offer even better prices at all locations and further what we do for the communities that have made us successful.

We have bank funding for the majority of the capitol needed, but we have to come up with a cash down payment. This is where you can help.
If you enjoy what we do at The Four Firkins, and you appreciate the need for small businesses in a metro dominated by corporate chains, please help us spread the word about our campaign! If you can, pledge an amount that works for you.
You know us pretty well and you know we take this very seriously. We appreciate your help more than we can say.
Together, we'll create a destination craft beer institution for Minnesota where the beer is always fresh and everybody knows your name.
