We first met when Maria came into Caribou on Grand and Snelling for her interview and Stuart was the first person she talked to when she got there. We ended up working together as baristas for a couple years while Maria was in high school and Stuart was in college. We went our separate ways, but the universe had other ideas. We would start running into each other at breweries and events over the years, but the timing always seemed off. Then one HOT day in August 2018 we were both at Americana Fest in Minneapolis, and the timing finally felt right. Picture hippie Maria in rolled up overalls and classic bandana and Stu in mismatched bright salmon shorts and a black and teal bro tank...it was like love at first (again?) sight :) We have been completely inseparable ever since.
