I'd suggest loading up the song Lily in Pink to listen to when you start this book. They mention it early on and it does seem to fit the vibe of the story.

Brim's beer is like champagne in a way because if it's not made in Brim it shouldn't be Brim's beer. But a brewery nearby is trying to use the name Brimmer. The owners at Brim's need to get it on the record that only beer from Brim's can be called Brim's in any way. The reason? If they don't get solo use of the title, they will lose their show more bar.

In addition, the beer from Brim comes along with an impressive claim, its said to heal. They are certain qualities in the local water that are said to cause miracles.

Brian is literally about to end his life when he receives word that the people of Brim would like to hire him.
Soon, new paths start crossing and lives start improving. Maybe the beer does cause miracles, maybe it doesn't, but it's brought these characters together and they are very motivated to do their best to save it.

Cute story. I feel like I could picture this as a fun, indie movie with a great soundtrack. Loveable characters. A bit slow to start but worth sticking with as you will easily come to care of these characters and what becomes of them.

I got to read an early e book edition through NetGalley. show less
