Question 1

How do you decide what books to read?

Accepted Answer

With great power comes great responsibility. We look for a variety of Australian literary fiction published in the last 18 months, probably not from the usual suspects. Must also be available as an audiobook and should be stocked by public libraries in WA.

Question 2

Do I have to buy the book?

Accepted Answer

No. Whilst it’s always great for authors when somebody buys their book, Books in the Brewery encourages you to access the book in any way that suits. Why not get it via Audible, go to your local library, borrow it from your gran, steal it from somebody on the train. OK please don’t steal it.

Question 3

I’ve never been in a book club before what can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Every book club can be unique,  at Books in the Brewery our host will be on hand to greet you and guide you through the discussion with other attendees. Everyone is encouraged to participate to their own comfort level and nobody is forced to answer any question.

Question 4

Can I come on my own?

Please do! Some people even feel less inhibited when they don’t know anyone else. Books in the Brewery is a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

Question 5

Question 6

Do I have to drink beer?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The venue has alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes.

Question 7

Do I have to have read the book before the meeting?

Accepted Answer

98% yes. We really do talk about the book. This includes spoilers. So in order to get the most out of the evening we would love you to have finished as much of the book as possible but even if you abandoned half way come and tell us why you felt that way.

Question 8

How do I get free parking?

Accepted Answer

Simples. Park in the Ellard Lane car park when visiting Seasonal Brewing Co and give the friendly staff behind the bar your rego number.
