Beervent 22: Peaks and Valleys

Favorite book: one of the best crime thrillers I read this year was @browneallover.bsky.social’s They All Fall the Same. Phenomenal writing.

Surprise beer: Mountain Girl Hefeweizen from Maryland’s own Union Brewing. A perfect thematic pairing.

Beervent Day 21:

Favorite Book: King of Ashes. No one writes crime fiction better than @blacktopkid.bsky.social; his debut, Blacktop Wasteland, made me want to write my own crime thriller (so I did). The best in the game, 💯.

Surprise beer: a raspberry hefe—can’t wait to get into it!

Beervent Day 20

Favorite book: Brilliance, by my pal Marcus Sakey. This trilogy is an absolute ride—mutants, superpowers, bureaucrats, family. Heart and brains. Top notch.

Surprise beer: Bell’s Porter, a great example of the style.

Favorite Book: IS Berry’s The Peacock and the Sparrow is the best spy novel in decades. America’s le Carré. And a nice person to boot.

Surprise Beer: Lakefront Honey Bock, with actual honeypot (ok barrel) on the label, which is perfect confluence.

Beervent 17

Surprise Beer: A chocolate coffee stout from Dewey Beer. Perfect for winter!

Favorite Book(s): The Broken Earth trilogy, NK Jemisin. Strange, beautiful, rage-filled FAR future SF. Also a slow burning mystery with a staggering reveal and incredible payoff.

Reviews matter, y’all, I should know.

#booksky
Would really love to get to 25 reviews by Christmas. That’s only eight reviews and I KNOW there are eight of you out there who have read this excellent anthology. Give these 15 authors a wonderful gift and post that review on Amazon. Happy holidays!

Beervent 16th:

Favorite book: Reacher, Lee Child*. Great collection of essays about the genesis, growth, and journey of Jack Reacher and the man who writes him.

Surprise beer: a berry pancake sour from Imprint. Reacher loves pancakes, so it felt like a match.

1/2

Beervent Day 15: Old School

Mystery beer: Thomas Hardy’s Ale, a venerable English Barleywine (1986 vintage on left, 2024 on right).

Favorite book: The Black Company series by Glen Cook. Grimdark low-ish fantasy before it was mainstreamed. Rough and ready.

Beervent Day 14

Surprise beer: Free State’s west coast pils, a collab with Burnished and Lallemand.

Favorite Book: The Dark Tower, #7 (well, 8) in Uncle Stevie’s magnum opus. Never cried so hard at a novel. And no, that’s not the horn of Arthur Eld (though I wish).

Beervent Day 13:

Favorite Book, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, by Michael Chandon, about an alternate America where the Jewish homeland is Sitka, Alaska. A phenomenal work.

Beervent Day 11

Favorite book: Swan Song by Robert R McCammon, a phenomenal post-apoc thrill ride that’s reminiscent of The Stand while being very much its own great thing.

Beervent Day 10

Random beer: Dewey’s Sunset Eclipse, a strawberry chocolate stout. I have more reservations than a Bennigan’s on St Patrick’s Day but I’ll give it a shot.

Pair with David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, a matryoshka novel that’s stayed with me for 15 years.

Pairing surprise beers with favorite books, day 9. This. Is. BEERVENT.

Blue Milk, a smoothie sour from Magnify Brewing in a galaxy far far away (aka New Jersey); should be…interesting.

Paired with Brian Daley’s Solo trilogy, the best Star Wars books; don’t @ me Thrawniacs.

Beervent Day 8: Sweet n Sour

@joerlansdale.bsky.social is one of eight authors who I’ll read anything they write, anytime, anywhere. Rusty Puppy is one of my favorites in his wonderful Hap & Leonard series.

Beervent Day 7:

Ben McIntyre wrote Double Cross, the best spy novel I ever read: At times hilarious, even poignant. Only it’s not a novel, it’s nonfiction that reads like one.

Paired with Blush by Foam Brewers, because every now and again I like a fruited sour.
