This struck me as somewhat humorous. I’ve heard of plenty of towns smaller than Clark, Wyoming (pop. @ 300-350 in the whole valley) but what makes Clark stand out is that, according to a short AP story, is that there is only one business in the whole town. And what is that one business? It’s the Edelweiss bar, owned by Peg Potter, but she’s planning on turning into a brewpub. Her goal is to brew “some of the best beer in the world,” with water from Clark’s Fork River, a local source that is fed from the Yellowstone River, as Clark is east of Yellowstone National Park, and just south of the Montana border. So that will make Clark literally a one brewpub town. That alone would make it a destination worth seeking out. What fun!
 

Teresa da Silva Lopes is the author of Global Brands, The Evolution of Multinationals in Alcoholic Beverages. And although it was published last fall, it seems like a prescient take on what’s been going on more recently with the beer industry, from the sale of Scottish & Newcastle, Miller and Coors’ merged U.S. operations and, of course, the latest InBev takeover of Anheuser-Busch. On her publisher’s U.S. website, the Cambridge University Press, she gives her perspective on the InBev/A-B deal, entitled A Global Case of Beer.
