Four Firkins Moving—Can You Guess Where?

The St. Louis Park beer store will give away a gift card to whoever answers correctly.

St. Louis Park craft beer store will be moving to a new locale, and staff want their customers to guess where for a prize.

The store will be giving away a $100 Firkins Gift Card and a Firkins shirt to the first person to post a picture on The Four Firkins Facebook page with themselves in front of the proposed new location and tag "The Four Firkins."
