Book Release: A Question of Family by Francois Bereaud
Join us in the Fiction taproom to celebrate the release of Francois Bereaud's new book, A Question of Family. He'll have copies of his book for sale, will be happy to sign them, and there will be a Q&A session.
About Francois:
He's the author of San Diego Stories, published in September 2024 by Cowboy Jamboree Press. His first novel, A Question of Family, is available from Stanchion Press. He serves as the fiction editor at The Twin Bill and read for Porcupine Literary. In his “real life”, he's a husband, dad, San Diego community college math professor, mentor in the Congolese refugee community, mountain biker, and mediocre hockey player.
About the book:
From François Bereaud, the acclaimed writer of San Diego Stories, comes a novel told in stories that span eras. Meet Walter, Claire, Grace, and Michael, a family in some state of dissolution. This is a story of family, of heartbreak and grace. You'll meet a wife who loses her family, a husband who loses time, their son lost in plays, and their daughter who has lost herself completely, as well as other people whose presence and absence shape who the members of this family are and will become. A Question of Family examines what it means to be alive together.

About the Book:
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice—with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan—from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Book Club
April is World Autism Month and we're bringing that to our book club pick: Strong Female Character by Fern Brady.
About the book:
Strong Female Character is about the years in between, and the unique combination of sexism and ableism that so often prevents autistic women from getting diagnosed until adulthood. Coming from a working-class Scottish Catholic family, Fern wasn’t exactly poised to receive an open-minded acceptance of her neurodivergence. With the piercing clarity and wit that has put her at the top of the British comedy scene, she now reflects on the ways her undiagnosed autism influenced her youth, from the tree that functioned as her childhood best friend to the psychiatric facility where she ended up when neither her parents nor school knew what to do with her.

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.

Join us for a night in a galaxy not so far away as our annual Star Wars trivia night returns!
Test your knowledge of hyperspace routes, legendary Jedi, notorious bounty hunters, and the countless worlds of the saga—from the dusty streets of Tatooine to the halls of the Imperial Senate. Whether you’re a devoted member of the Rebel Alliance or quietly working for the Empire, gather your crew and prepare for multiple rounds of trivia that will challenge even the most dedicated fans.
To mark the occasion, we’re tapping Maltering the Deal, a beer inspired by one of the most memorable lines from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This brew is our own negotiation with the dark side of brewing—rich malt character balanced with just enough bite to keep things interesting. Smooth, bold, and a little dangerous, it’s the kind of beer that might make you reconsider the terms of your agreement after the first sip.
Costumes are highly encouraged (and will be rewarded with a beer shot), lightsabers welcome, and teams will compete for prizes worthy of the Outer Rim. So assemble your squad, study up on your Star Wars lore, and come see if the Force is strong with your trivia team. Just remember… we may alter the deal—so pray we don’t alter it any further.

In her spare time, you can find her talking to her plants, singing with the Denver Feminist Chorus, or adventuring with the love of her life and their fluffy orange cat.
About Accounting for Love:
Being stuck in LA traffic is the worst—until a handsome man in the next car over shows you that love is worth the detour.
Taylor Thomas, a vision in a business suit, is a gay accountant who takes everything too seriously. He doesn’t depend on anyone, and there’s a lot on his plate between tax season and helping plan his sister’s wedding.
He needs more fun in his life, and Gabriel is the man for the job.
Gabriel Rivera is the good-time guy. A bisexual botanist who talks to his plants, has too many hobbies, and ditches work to hang with his queer rec volleyball team. Gabriel isn’t looking for a serious relationship, but when he spots the hottie in the car beside him on the highway, he can’t resist shooting his shot.
As things heat up between Taylor and Gabriel, their insecurities become relationship roadblocks. Will love become the liability they have always believed it to be, or can it become an asset?

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.
Game Night
Our regular group of game nighters are back! Swing by our taproom on Tuesday, February 3rd (and every first Tuesday of the month) from 6pm onward for an open game night.
New members are always welcome. Open game nights offer easy, moderate, and higher level access points for all interests and capacities (because we know, we all sometimes just want to learn something fun and easy to relax after a long week!). You can jump in on a game that seems interesting to you or come prepared with a game you want to teach and share with others.
Regular game nighters are invited to join a Discord channel to stay connected on events and sign up for featured games.
We look forward to seeing you there! All are invited. Our game night space welcomes neurodiverse folx and is LGBTQ+ friendly.
Smutty Book Club
This month, we're diving into a matchmaking ritual at the palace between Tem and the Serpent King Caspen. She (and we as readers) are in for a wild ride with this one!
We'll meet to discuss on Monday, March 2nd at 7pm.
As always, Spicy Librarian is our recommended bookstore to grab your copy.
The Fiction Beer Company Smutty Book Club meets on the first Monday of every month. We discuss our current reads, our darkest desires, and share a beverage (or two) with fellow smut enthusiasts.

About the Book:
From internet sensation Lindsay Straube comes the first in a searing romantasy series where survival demands submission, and desire is the most dangerous game of all.
Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace's most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm's magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince's favor—and a life of privilege.
Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette.
She doesn't expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe. As he pushes her to unlock the strength she never knew she had, Tem finds herself drawn into something deeper, stranger, and far more powerful than royal approval.
But not all bonds are built for the court, and some secrets are meant to break them.
Readers call it "feral, spicy, and unforgettably bold." For fans of morally grey monsters, slow—burn fantasy romance, and stories that subvert the fairytale script.
