ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
John Bray is an author of books for children, including The End (coming August 30, 2022), and an assortment of other things. He won a bookmark design contest in second grade and can only assume that’s what set his path for a future of writing. He lives in Chicago’s western suburbs with his son and a rambunctious dog who’s the size of a modest cat. Originally, he’s from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (“The U.P.” to locals) which helps explain the beard.

When he’s not writing, he’s probably running, lost in a book, or feeling like he should be doing something — anything — because sitting still isn’t one of his greatest skills.

When it's so early in the morning that the sun has barely crested the horizon, the dedicated fisherman heads out to the water. Nothing with him save for his lures, rods, and breakfast...a mug of coffee as sturdy as the one who holds it.

THE BEER:
Barrel Aged Fisherman's Breakfast is an imperial stout with coffee, maple, coconut, cacao nibs, and vanilla. Those who remember the non-barrel aged version won't want to miss this release.

THE PREORDER:
Preorders for those who want to pick up bottles at a later date will begin WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14 at NOON.

• Proxies welcome

• No bottle limits

• You will have until 6pm on Saturday, Dec 24 to pick up your bottles

• Bookmark our online shop for easy access that day:

THE RELEASE:
