The care and craft an author puts into a novel may be equal to the care and craft a brewmaster puts into an artisan beer. That’s why Brandon Doriot, co-owner and Bartender of The Local (as well as Toledo City Paper's social media manager), is encouraging literati to pair good novels with craft beer as part of “Rough Drafts.” The book club meets once a month to discuss a novel between sips of appropriate suds. Maybe a Russian Imperial Stout to go with a little Dostoyevsky, or a Summer Shandy with one of William Faulkner’s southern gothics. The next book on the group’s list will be Mark Z. Danielewski’s experimental horror yarn House of Leaves. “Rough Drafts” meets the second Thursday of each month.
Next meeting: April 10. 7pm. The Local, 7723 Airport Hwy., Holland. 419-450-3234. facebook.com/thelocaltoledo
