Escondido Books and Beer Club
Do you enjoy reading and drinking beer? This is a monthly book club for anyone 21+ that would enjoy getting together and discussing a novel while drinking a tasty pint. You don't have to drink beer or alcohol at all to attend meetings but the meetings are hosted at breweries and brew pubs. We read a variety of genres and vote on book selections. I pick the books for April (the anniversary month of the club), and in October we read the One Book San Diego selection.
