Teeny Tiny Bookshop Pop-Up + Book Signing w/ Ellen O'Clover
Join us for an extra-special pop-up event with Teeny Tiny Bookshop! Not only will they be parked outside for all of your book-buying needs, but we'll also have local author Ellen O'Clover in our taproom signing copies of her new book, The Heartbreak Hotel.
About Ellen O'Clover:
Ellen O’Clover writes stories about love, identity, and belonging for both teens and adults. She grew up in Ohio and studied creative writing at the Johns Hopkins University before moving west to Colorado, where she lives in a little green house under a giant aspen tree with her rocket scientist husband and two perfect bulldogs.
About The Heartbreak Hotel:
A bed-and-breakfast for the brokenhearted might hold the key to another chance at love in this achingly hopeful debut romance.
Louisa Walsh emerged from a tumultuous childhood with a degree in counseling, a wealthy boyfriend, and her sunny outlook on life mostly intact. But that optimism is tested when she’s dumped and left unable to afford rent on their gorgeous house in the mountains of Colorado. Even with her life in disarray, Lou knows losing the one stable place she’s ever called home is not an option.
Her plan: ask her reclusive landlord, Henry Rhodes, to let her stay for free in exchange for renting out the house’s many rooms as a bed-and-breakfast. She’s shocked when he agrees to her terms, and even more surprised to discover Henry is a handsome thirtysomething veterinarian with silver at his temples and sadness in his eyes. One who does not take it well when Lou starts marketing her B and B as a retreat for the recently heartbroken.
But as the Comeback Inn opens its doors to its weary, hopeful guests, Lou and Henry find themselves dancing around both their undeniable connection and the closely held secrets that threaten to topple this fragile new start. A chance at love, here, could be too close to home…or it could be exactly where their hearts finally heal.

The Fae Cart Pop-Up
Romantasy lovers, this one's for you! We met the owner of The Fae Cart, Mary Beth, down at Lone Tree Craftoberfest and just knew we needed a pop-up in our taproom.
Swing by between 5:30-7:30pm on Monday, November 3rd to peruse the pop-up!
From Mary Beth:
Hi, I’m Mary Beth! I am the founder of The Fae Cart, a traveling romantasy bookshop. Books have always been my safe place. They’ve given me magic, escape, and hope when life felt heavy. My heart has always been in helping people feel seen, safe, and whole, and The Fae Cart is an extension of that calling.
This isn’t just a bookshop to me. It’s a space where stories meet soul work, where healing can happen between the pages, and where community can be built one enchanted book at a time. I want The Fae Cart to feel like a cozy, regulating refuge for everyone who visits. And this is just the beginning! My bigger dream is to create a space that holds both: a bookshop filled with magic and story, and a community space where circles, breathwork, and connection can unfold. Whether at a blind date with a book pop-up or one day in a brick-and-mortar shop, my vision is to bring these worlds together so people can feel safe, inspired, and at home.

About June Patrick:
June Patrick writes witty, escapist stories set in swoony, faraway places. She is obsessed with all things European and dreams of moving to the Riviera where she can run around all day like Grace Kelly. A Northern California native, she now moves around the country like a nomad with her real-life hero of a husband and their toddler daughter. They currently call Colorado home where they begrudgingly battle snow. You can find her at JunePatrick.com or connect on Instagram and TikTok:@JunePatrickAuthor.
About The Valencia Expat Club:
A juicy, heartwarming novel set against stunning Spanish settings, where delicious food, romantic adventures, and the transformative magic of starting over in Spain lead Dahlia Delaney to uncover family, friendship, self-discovery, and an unexpected new beginning.
Dahlia Delaney’s marriage just imploded, her friend group picked a side (not hers), and her fancy San Francisco life now fits into a single suitcase. Armed with a broken heart, a freelance marketing gig, and one blurry childhood memory of her abuela’s garden, she impulsively hops on a flight to Valencia, Spain, to reconnect with distant family—and maybe herself.
But Valencia isn’t just sunny plazas and sangria. There’s her chaotic new job at a quirky expat bar, a family she barely knows but who embrace her like she’s always belonged, and a brooding American bar owner who’s frustratingly attractive and entirely too familiar.
As Dahlia stumbles through language mishaps, clashing cultures, and late-night paella with new friends, she begins to realize that the fresh start she came for might turn into something even better—if she can let go of the life she planned and embrace the one unfolding around her.
Perfect for anyone who’s ever dreamed of starting over somewhere with better wine, The Valencia Expat Club is a sparkling, laugh-out-loud romantic escape about second chances, delicious detours, and finding home where you least expect it.

Eleventh Anniversary Party
We're headed to the Shire for our eleventieth birthday! Grab a pint (or four) and get ready to dance and drink the day away. We can't promise there will be fireworks, but there will be good times to go around.
In proper hobbit style, we're opening at 10am for brunch - or second breakfast and elevenses. Grab a crepe from the food truck outside and enjoy it with one of our limited brunch-themed beers on tap!
And it wouldn't be a hobbit party without music! We have The Dollhouse Thieves taking the stage in our taproom at 6pm.
The full lineup:
- Flash tattoos with Silverback Studios from 9:30am-8pm

Lord of the Rings Trivia
Whether you’re a humble hobbit, a wise wizard, or a rider of Rohan, gather your fellowship and journey to Fiction Beer Company for a night of Lord of the Rings trivia. From the rolling hills of the Shire to the fires of Mount Doom, your knowledge of Middle Earth will be put to the test.
Expect questions spanning the books and films—who said what, which sword was which, and why second breakfast is absolutely essential. Bring your lore, your love of Tolkien, and perhaps a cloak, ring, or some lembas bread.
So sharpen your wits, watch out for tricksy questions, and remember: Not all those who wander are lost, but those without the right answer might be.
Grown Up Book Fair w/ Second Star to the Right
Come celebrate the start of Fall with a Grown Up Book Fair! We will have great books (including many cozy fall reads) and Fiction Beer will have a great selection of drinks for you. We can't wait to see you there!
Oktoberfest
Oans, zwoa, drei, g’suffa! Oktoberfest arrives at Fiction Beer Company on Saturday, September 20th, when our MAV Märzen comes back on tap.
Not only will we have MAV back on tap, but we're planning a day full of Oktoberfest-style contests! We'll have pretzel ringtoss, stein races, and stein hoisting in the afternoon. Make sure you come limber for the chicken dance contest and wear your best dirndl or lederhosen for our costume contest. Then, stay after the costume contest for a classic bar sing-along. Plus, there will be Oktoberfest-themed flash trivia throughout the day for silly prizes.
Come ready for contests, fun, and plenty of drinking! Prost!
Music Video Bingo
Music video bingo with Brain Reaction Trivia is back! There's no quizzing with this event - Sir Lanka will play themed rounds of music videos, you mark them off your bingo sheet, and shout BINGO as loud as you can!
All materials are provided and it's free to play. Just show up, have fun, and win prizes!
Trivia Night
Word on the street is the best trivia in Denver is at Fiction Beer Company - and our team of hosts-turned-owners would love to challenge your knowledge of obscure (and not-so-obscure) topics.
Each week, our regular trivia starts with a round on current events, includes a third round chosen by previous third-place winners, and finishes with a final Jeopardy-style round.
First and second-place winners get money off their next bar tab, while third-place winners get to choose a third-round topic for the next general trivia night.
Book Club
This month, we're following along a culinary adventure with Stanley Tucci as our guide as we read his book, What I Ate in One Year (And Related Thoughts).
The Fiction Beer Company Book Club meets on the third Monday of every month at 7pm. We discuss the monthly read, our ever-growing TBR list, and enjoy a beverage (or two) with the company of our fellow bookish nerds. Finishing the book isn’t required, but you’ll just have to live with the spoilers.
Petals & Pages Pop-Up Book Fair
Sip, shop, and celebrate stories! We're welcoming Petals & Pages back into our taproom for a pop-up book fair, featuring queer authors and stories. Browse a selection of books by and for members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies while you sip on craft beer.
