2026 Literary Pursuit
Books and Brews Philly
Remember in elementary school, when you and your classmates squealed over the latest Captain Underpants or Amelia’s Notebook and spent precious quarters on holographic bookmarks at the Scholastic book fair? Well, the joy of our bibliophilic youth now lives on through Books and Brews. The group hosts book fairs and swaps for grown-ups at local watering holes — from Love City Brewing in Callowhill to New Hope’s Manoff Market Gardens — in collaboration with independent bookstores. (They usually host one to two per month, announced on their Instagram a few weeks in advance.) Pure nostalgia, matured — and a TBR pile you’ll actually dig into.
