The theme for our September book club was inspired by National Talk Like a Pirate Day in September with Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson being the pirate-themed book poll winner.

The official Fiction Beer CO book club meets monthly--usually on the third Monday of each month. We meet at 7:00 pm in the Denver taproom. What we do: drink beers and talk about the book. Discussion questions help guide and focus the discussion; however, going off topic is encouraged.

We have a great mix of gregarious bookish folks mixed with introverted bookish folks and we happily welcome new people into the fold.

We encourage you to join our official Fiction Beer Company book club Facebook group. The group is the place to vote for our book selections, engage with other members, and get notified of exclusive events.

• Are you wondering how to start designing a board game?

No experience is necessary as either a designer or as a player.
All game concepts are welcome. Insight from players with tons of experience are just as valuable as feedback from those brand new to the hobby.

The Pie Queen is back y'all! Chocolatina Q Dessert returns to our Denver taproom with a pop-up pie shop and drag show performance--it's pies with a side of drag!

Pie Queen pies will be available for purchase in the taproom directly from Chocolatina Q Dessert (VENMO or cash only). Visit the below link for the pie menu and to pre-order pies or quiche for pickup on Friday.

Pastry has been a lifelong passion for Martin Howard (or Chocolatina Q Dessert, depending on when and how you meet). An award-winning pastry chef by day and singing drag queen by night, Martin saw an opportunity to combine these two passions. And so, during a time when people needed food and laughter the most, The Pie Queen was born.
