Here's To Ya Potosi

Putting Potosi on the map:

Potosi, Wis., a town of about 700 people where a brewery named after the community operated for 120 years, has been chosen to house a museum of U.S. brewery memorabilia.

The American Breweriana Association, which convened in Denver earlier this month, selected the southwestern Wisconsin river town over Milwaukee, where the Miller Brewing Co. is based, and St. Louis, the home of Anheuser-Busch.

Association President Len Chylack said the collectors' group made the choice because of Potosi's passion for beer, brewery history and beer-making culture. The museum is to go into a renovated building where the Potosi Brewery operated from 1852 to 1972. It will display beer cans, bottles, trays, coasters, glasses and other items that sport the name of any U.S. brewery.

A passion for beer? Sounds like my kinda town.
