Libations in the Windowpane
Of Mice and Brettanomyces
A fascinating tale of two home brewers, George and Lennie, who possess very few skills and resources that will help them attain their dreams of owning their own artisanal brewery in drought stricken California. Their journey is made even more difficult because Lennie is mentally retarded; his powerful body, his childlike innocence, and his fascination with teku glassess conspire against him. Their road to fame is mired with obstacles, among them lack of planning, cruelty, infected fermentation tanks, jealousy, fear, loneliness, health code violations and self doubt.
The Adventures of Hunahpu Finn
A coming of age tale of an underprivileged boy after he's been taken in by Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson, who intend to take him to his first Hunahpu Day in the deep south of Tampa, FL. The boy soon sets off on an adventure to help the widow's beer mule, Jim, line up some Double Barrel Hunahpu trades in the free state of Michigan where Black Note stout is soon to be released at Bell’s General Store. The plot takes a twist when fake tickets and poor bottle distribution decisions doom Hunahpu Day leaving the boy, Jim and entitled hoarders Hunahpu-less. The book addresses America's painful contradiction of segregation and beer release parties in a "free" and "equal" society
