Paul Hightower and Brian Brown, authors of North Texas Beer, will discuss and sign their book at Four Corners Brewing Co. Stephen Becker of KERA radio will lead the discussion, and The Wild Detectives bookstore in Oak Cliff will have copies of the book for sale. The “Book Buzz” event is sponsored by Friends of the Dallas Public Library, which will receive $1 for every pint sold.

North Texas Beer - A Full-Bodied History of Brewing in Dallas, Fort Worth and Beyond traces local beer-making from 1857 through the current boom in small craft breweries. North Texans may not be aware that the Texas’ first craft brewery – and just the sixth in the entire country – was established in Plano in 1982.
