Soak in Hot Beer with Me

Like beer? Then you’ll enjoy reading about the Chodovar Beer Spa in Czech Republic.
 
GoNOMAD, one of the most popular online travel magazines for readers bitten by the travel bug, recently published my feature article, “Steeped in Beer in Chodova Plana,” along with some of my travel photos.
 
“Chodova Plana is a quaint little village out in the forest in a region surrounded by hot springs. It takes us about 15 minutes to make it through the country roads, spotting what look like summer homes along the way, to our destination: Chodovar—a historic brewery dating back to the 14th century.”
 
While there, we soaked in hot tubs full of beer, drank beer, were wrapped in beer-drenched linens, and even topped our visit off with a stop by Plzen—the birthplace of beer.
 
At a reading earlier this week I shared my story from Tracks called “A Good Beer Needs a Good Stein.” As I learned during this day trip during a visit to Prague, sometimes a good beer needs a whole bathtub.
 
Join me in a beer at GoNOMAD.

Tracks @ Max's

Tracks @ Max’s, the official release party for Tracks: A Novel in Stories, is happening on Tuesday, September 27 in Max’s new Notre Passion side bar. The party runs from 5 to 8 p.m., after which it may spill over into one of the main bar areas. Light fare will be served.

Your first drink is on us; RSVP by midnight tonight for a free drink ticket! The event coincides with happy hour, which means $1 off most draughts.

Max's Taphouse is located at 737 S. Broadway, in the center of historic Fells Point. With 140 beers on tap, 5 cask ales, and 1,200 bottled beers in stock, Max’s has Baltimore’s best beer selection.

Max’s is featured in Tracks: A Novel in Stories, making it an ideal setting for the release party. And a book with a story called “A Good Beer Needs a Good Stein” belongs at an establishment known for its good beer.

Tracks: A Novel in Stories was released by Atticus books on June 30. It takes place on a train traveling from Baltimore to Chicago. Copies will be available at the release party.

How often can you get your books and beer in the same location? Hope to see you there; it’s sure to be a fun ride!
