Lagers & Literature: Vol. V

Sep 6, 2026 11:00 AM

Celebrate Austin’s local literature scene at Meanwhile Brewing for the fifth annual Lagers & Literature Book Fair!

From 11-4pm, we’ll have a variety of vendors including local authors and printmakers, Austin Public Library, independent bookstores, specialized booksellers, archives, and book makers. Feels So Good is screen printing this year's poster design by local artist Adrienne Rivers on canvas tote bags live from 11-1pm. Bags are limited so come early to grab yours! Slowpoke Tattoo is also popping up from 11-4pm with bookish tattoo designs available. Additionally, make a bookmark with Carlie Arts! Tickets sold separately.

Other activities include zine making with Lone Star Zine Fest, book press coasters with Austin Book Arts Center, and customized poems from Typewriter Rodeo.

Plus, we're releasing Bookworm, a Coffee Cream Ale. Enjoy Bookworm in cans to go or on draft in the taproom. A portion of proceeds from this beer will go to the Inside Books Project and The Library Foundation to support literacy and access to books in Central Texas.

Lastly, BookPeople presents book signings by local authors. Schedule below!
