The Books & Brews Podcast is the place where literature and beer meet. Each month we welcome a new guest author to read and discuss their work. Author Laura Vosika leads in-depth interviews to delve into the motivations, inspirations and preoccupations of each guest. Certified Cicerone® Michael Agnew pours beers specifically selected to pair with the writer’s work. It’s an hour of entertaining erudition that hits your mind and your mouth.

Books & Brews began in 2017 as a monthly radio program on 950 AM in the Twin Cities. After a six-month run we went live at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in the Galleria in Edina, Minnesota. Books & Brews LIVE! Featured four writers reading in front of a live audience who sampled beers as they listened and asked questions. Books & Brews LIVE was featured on WCCO TVs Mid-Morning show.

In 2019 Books & Brews moved to this podcast format. This allowed us to bring our unique content – writers, writing and craft beer pairings – to a wider audience. Tune in, taste along and get to know some amazing wordsmiths.
