Reading & Drinking
Where Hobby Meets Happy Hour

A well-crafted piece of art is surprising and intimate, built with intent and great care to stir within you something buried or hidden away. It turns out, a great cocktail will do the same. A few times a month, you can find a new post here exploring the urgent matter of Reading & Drinking. Expect each one to take a brief but intense look at an skillfully-crafted work of art and pair it with a unique cocktail as a guiding companion should you choose to explore the same work that has inspired me. But, at the least, you’ll have a cocktail in hand.

If you have suggestions, for works or spirits or cocktails, send me an email at BTimm.Writing@gmail.com or message me on Instagram at @Reading.And.Drinking

I look forward to Reading & Drinking with you.
