Books & Brews is an author series focused on discussions with writers from our area. This series is a collaboration with Pale Fire Brewing Company in Harrisonburg, who provide a wonderful space to explore these topics together.
The Books & Brews season runs from September to May and is currently scheduled for the second Tuesday of every other month.
We welcome suggestions and if you have an author in mind for a future Books & Brews, please send a note to our series host, Mary Katharine Froehlich.
WMRA's Books & Brews series is made possible thanks to the support of Gaines Group Architects, our official sponsor. The Gaines Group has offices in Charlottesville and Harrisonburg.
