On Sunday, December 4, Portland’s N.W.I.P.A. is hosting a holiday Books & Beer event featuring a number of Oregon beer authors, myself included! This will be a fun holiday shopping event from 2 to 5pm where you can come meet the authors, buy signed books, and drink beer of course!

We’re bringing together local publishers and a few local authors to sign books this holiday season. A signed book is a great personalized gift!. You’ll find gifts for beer lovers, traveling tipplers, art fans, books for the tikes and toddlers in your life and more. The team at N.W.I.P.A. will help you select some gift-worthy bottles of beer and cider to round out your holiday shopping list. Stop by, buy a book, buy a bottle and raise a glass all in the name of getting things done this holiday season!

This event is age 21+

Meet the authors:
Jeff Alworth (The Beer Bible)
Niki Ganong (The Field Guide to Drinking in America)
Brian Yaeger (Oregon Breweries)
Steven Shomler (Portland Beer Stories)
Matt Wagner (The Tall Trees of Portland and art director for Gigantic Brewing label art)
Jon Abernathy (Bend Beer)
and more to be announced!

We’ll also have books by these publishers:

A signed book is a great Christmas present and you’ll have a terrific selection at this event—and we’ll all be happy to personalize your books any way you like! Make sure to come out—books, beers, and the holidays, we’re going to have a lot of fun.

Here’s the cover of Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon. It pairs well with just about any beer, but particularly those from Bend! See you on Sunday the 4th!
