“One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning, down the track came a hobo hikin’, and he said, “boys I’m not turning. I’m headed for a land that’s far away beside the crystal fountains. so come with me, we’ll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains—” or at least follow me to the roadside spot in this dusty town with the rarest brews a pourin’. “People come in here and are amazed because I have beer that they have been looking for for months,” says Roy Wilson, Happy’s Market Brew keeper. Wilson so loves his customers, he has travelled the miles to bring the best bottles home. After purchasing Happy’s Market two and a half years ago, the Wilsons wanted to improve the quality of the local beer selection here in wildcat town, and looked for a niche. “There were some things we wanted to change in the store,” Roy says. “We wrote a code of conduct about how we wanted to serve the community.” That began by expanding the 22-ounce beer selection from three refrigerator doors to five. He also beefed up the imported brews to more than a hundred labels. “I’ve got beers from Latvia, Belgium, Russia.you name it,” Roy says. “I’ve got beers from third world countries.” Are you looking for gluten free beer? Try one of the thirteen types in stock. Did you know Stella Artois made a hard cider? Thanks to Happy’s, now you can try it.
