Beer and BBQ at Urban Roots
Sacramento, California
I will be kicking off the live book tour at home here in Sacramento, at the Urban Roots Smokehouse and Brewery! This will be an outdoor event, and we are cooking up a special of some smoked fish and seafood, a book and a beer for everyone to enjoy! If you are not familiar with Urban Roots, it has some of the best beer in the area! This is a come as you are event, no tickets, but we are planning on collecting RSVPs to know about how much food to prepare.
Also, since this will be an early in the year event, with Covid, we are likely still going to be all masked up and such. We will play it by ear and do what we need to do to keep everyone safe!
