Support A Dangerous Man & His Plan…

If you’re not already familiar, Rob Miller wants to open Dangerous Man Brewing Co. in Northeast Minneapolis next summer. He’s run into a snag in that the spot he’d like to use is within 300 feet of a religious institution, a no-no according to the lawbooks at this point. The goal, of course, is to change the law. So… if you’re available Monday afternoon, please lend your support.
