Grab a book, order your favorite craft beer, and join fellow readers for an evening of lively conversation at The Hoppy Readers, Lost Hiker Brewing Company’s occasional book club.

December’s featured selection is The Ferryman and His Wife by bestselling Norwegian author Frode Grytten. The novel follows ferry driver Nils Vik on one final journey along the fjord—a quietly epic story of memory, love, loss, and a life viewed from its far shore.

Whether you’ve read every page or simply enjoy talking books with friendly people, The Hoppy Readers offers a relaxed, welcoming place to join the conversation. Bring your thoughts on the book, enjoy a locally crafted beer, and connect with fellow readers at Lost Hiker’s Midtown Ruidoso taproom.

Want to shop local? Pick up a copy from Books Etcetera, just a short walk from the brewery.
