Beer and Creative Writing Project Seeks Backers

Charles Stanley of Upland writes:

I recently founded Story Brewhouse LLC to explore the creative combination of beer and literature. My first project, A Six Pack of Stories, will be a collection of short fiction and creative non-fiction in which beer plays an important role in the plot or theme.

Initial funds for the project are being raised via a Kickstarter campaign, and I’m asking that beer enthusiasts help spread the word about this campaign, which seeks to raise $9,077 between June 14th and July 14th. The campaign page is located at link.

He already has over $2,000 pledged.
