Spring Author Series: J. Ryan Stradal
2022-03-29 19:00 - 20:00 | Waseca Public Library, 408 N State St, Waseca, MN, 56093, United States
Wrapping up the series will be J. Ryan Stradal, who will speak about his book The Lager Queen of Minnesota, a novel of family, Midwestern values, hard work, fate, and the secrets of making world-class beer. The Minneapolis StarTribune wrote about the book, “The ending is surprising and understated, which is how we do things in Minnesota. Everything about this book satisfies — from how the characters grow to how beer-making is described to Stradal’s hilarious assessment of lagers vs. IPAs. You may never drink a beer in ignorance again.” Stradal’s event will take place at Waseca Public Library on Tuesday, March 29th at 7 pm.

This series is free and open to the public. Stradal will be signing books at the event.

This series is made possible by a grant provided by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative and is funded in part with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.
