Jim and Lauren Parejko are in the beginning stages of renovating the old Snell oil change and detail space into a brewery and taproom to be called Locale, located on Poplar St. in downtown Mankato. Jim said he has been home brewing for 12 years, winning best in show at the state fair last year, in addition to being the taproom manager at Starkeller in New Ulm. Photo by Jackson Forderer
