Where are all the comments saying Minneapolis is a terrible city to do business in?

I'm pleased to say this is an all too rare example of something good landing in Minneapolis.

This is exciting. About time we had some reform to our outdated alcohol laws. Now if only we could stop giving money to liquor retailers in Wisconsin on Sundays...

It is pathetic that these brewers need the blessing of government overlords to do business.

Minneapolis is FINALLY showing some real forward thinking.

See what happens when you get stupid regulations out of the way.

I'm excited. Minneapolis already has a culture that appreciates unique and distinct products over things designed for mass appeal. There are already more and more people who drink microbrews or participate in the ongoing exploration of finding and drinking the world's best beers. We even have a fairly high percentage of people who actually brew their own beer. In 10 years time, Minneapolis might be considered a beer haven like Munich, Germany or Portland, Oregon. Add in a decent festival or celebration and we might even see a boom in tourism.
