The story don't have to concern the fate of the world. However a story where the main character is sneaking in a army camp to save his children is way more interesting than a story where the main character is saving his ale.
I'd say that still depends on the writer and how they write the story. Saving the children sounds like it will be a more interesting story than saving the ale, but it doesn't have to be. A story about a father saving his children is probably an easier sell than a story about a brewer saving his ale, but the idea of the story isn't the story itself.
As a writer, it's up to me to make the the reader care about my characters. If the way I tell my story isn't good enough, then it doesn't matter how great the idea is.
