Program Description

Event Details

In collaboration with Bright Eye Beer Co., the Long Beach Public Library will be moderating this nonfiction discussion group on the third Tuesday of every month at their brewery located at 50 W Park Ave.

Join us for a drink and discussion of this month's memoir, The Greatest Beer Run Ever: a memoir of friendship, loyalty, and war by John Donohue & J.T. Molloy, which was adapted for film on Apple TV starring Zac Efron and Russell Crowe. Copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk or digitally via Libby with your library card. 

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran-turned-merchant mariner recounts how in 1967 he accepted a neighborhood challenge to sneak into Vietnam, track down local friends on the front line and share beer over messages of love from home.
