Romantasy Trivia
Think you know your romantasy? Prove it. 🔥📚
Brush up on the obvious, the obscure, the morally gray, and the questionably spicy from your favorite books. Join us for an afternoon of romantasy trivia, drinks, food, books, and questionable levels of fandom at Local Remedy Brewing.
✨ Featuring special guests:
📚 The Raven’s Quill mobile bookstore
🍔 Quick E Burger
Flash tattoos by Telina
The Tilted Iris Tea Truck
Bring your bookish besties. Bring your suspiciously specific knowledge of fictional men. Bring your willingness to fight over whether that answer technically counts.
Come for the trivia. Stay for the brews, bites, books, and morally gray characters. 🐉🥂
