While I won't be wearing lederhosen nor will I be accompanied by a buxom beer wench (sadly), I am doing beer book signings across American throughout October! Check out the list of beer bars and some book stores below, and join me for some local brews.
Cheers

Thanks, I had noticed the Brickskeller date a while back and it's great now to see a note from you. Perhaps we'll cross paths in Denver. I'll be pouring for a little while at Iron Hill's table. Best wishes for a successful tour!
