Books, Brews, and a Buzz: Welcome to My Boozy & Bookish Pairings 🍻📚

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m a romance author who believes in happy endings, a nice steamy over-the-top hero, emotional chaos, and cracking open a cold one with a good book.

But here’s the twist, I’m not just a reader and writer. I’m also your unofficial, unqualified, overly enthusiastic beer sommelier. I love discovering new craft breweries, weird seasonal flavors, and beers that come in cans so pretty I feel bad recycling them. I’ll happily talk about hops and haze the same way I’ll spiral over a good grovel or a chapter 27 spicy scene.

So I thought, why not combine the two?

Welcome to Boozy & Bookish. A weekly segment where I pair red hot romance reads with the perfect cold craft beer or hard seltzer. Some pairings are subtle. Some are completely unhinged. All are guaranteed to elevate your reading experience and your next trip to the beer aisle.

From fruity sours that match a beachside rom-com to velvety stouts that complement a dark and broody hero, I’m here to guide your tastebuds and your TBR. I’ll break down the flavors, the tropes, and the vibes. Wanna see me live an in person? I'll post video on TikTok, Insta and YouTube, otherwise you can always find the written version here.

Whether you’re into enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, or forced proximity with a side of craft lager, I’ve got your next pairing covered. This is your one-stop shop for romance recs and boozy indulgence.

So grab a glass, light that tropey candle, and let me be your beer sommelier and romance enabler. 🍺❤️

Got a book you want paired? A brewery I should check out? Hit me up! I’m always taking requests (and no, I won’t judge your taste in either).

Stay boozy. Stay bookish. Cheers.

Babette
