BUFFALO, BOOKS & BEER (B3), the popular barroom reading series, returns Wed., Oct. 15, 7 p.m., at The Buffalo, Bar & Grille (307 Louisiana Street., Buffalo 14204) with Jeff Z. Klein, author of the graphic historical novel, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN US HOWLING: When Buffalo Ruled the Inland Seas, published in October and illustrated by Scott A. Wood.
ABOUT BUFFALO, BOOKS & BEER B3 is a barroom literary series that has brought dozens of authors to Buffalo, including Sherill Tippins, author of Inside the Dream Palace and winner of the Marfield Prize; Tim Wendel, author of Rebel Falls, winner of the 2025 W.Y. Boyd Award from the American Library Association; and Clay Risen, journalist at The New York Times, author of a half-dozen books on history, and an authority on American whiskey. The series continues with several author events scheduled for 2025. Further announcements to come. Founders Brian Castner and Matt Higgins are authors and journalists who concocted the idea for B3 in 2014 while sitting in a tavern, talking about how to broaden the appeal of book events. Their goal: bring great writers to Buffalo and showcase the talent already here in the informal atmosphere of a tavern for a community of beer-drinkers (and teetotalers, too) with a literary bent.
