What we’re about
Suggest new books or locations using this link: Baltimore Books and Brews Suggestions
It's hard to make friends as an adult. Come join a low-stakes kind of book club where we hang out, chat about our monthly book, and build community. Didn't finish the book? you're welcome too!
We'll rotate breweries or coffee shops for meet ups once a month.
What to expect:
- To encourage and spark conversations we'd like to open meet ups by going around the room, introducing ourselves by rating the book 1-5 stars and a couple sentences about what you thought about the book.
- At the end of the meeting we’ll spin a wheel full of genres for a random genre and then use that to select a book from out Suggestion list at random for future events.
- Events planned a few months in advance to give everyone more time to find, place on hold, and read the book.
- We want your suggestions! - we really value the input from the group and wanted to keep all those great book and location suggestions in one spot where they won't get lost for future meetups.

November Book: Born to be Hanged by Keith Thompson
Location: Guinness Open Gate
Description: Discover the “fascinating and outrageously readable” account of the roguish acts of the first pirates to raid the Pacific in a crusade that ended in a sensational trial back in England
The year is 1680, in the heart of the Golden Age of Piracy, and more than three hundred daring, hardened pirates--a potent mix of low-life scallywags and a rare breed of gentlemen buccaneers--gather in a remote bay of modern-day Panama. The plan: to wreak havoc on the Panamanian coastline, raiding cities, mines, and merchant ships. The booty: the bright gleam of Spanish gold and the chance to become a legend.
