Author Pete Dulin is joined by the Library’s director of programming and marketing Steven Woolfolk, and representatives from local breweries Torn Label and Big Rip for a discussion of the local beer scene and Dulin’s book KC Ale Trail. KC Ale Trail offers a guide to 23 modern breweries and examines the growth of craft brewing in Kansas City and the surrounding area. Dulin also includes interviews with some of the area’s leading craft beer advocates, including Boulevard Creative Director Payton Kelly and Bier Station owner John Couture. The event is preceded by a reception featuring samples provided by Torn Label and Big Rip.
