Leslie Patiño, author of the weekly beer blog, “Not My Father’s Beer,” has released her first beer-inspired novel. The Brewer’s Justice is the story of American brewer Brad Peters who partners with a wealthy Mexican friend to open an upscale brewpub in Monterrey, Mexico. There’s only one problem: the local drug cartel wants a piece of the action. The Brewer’s Justice is available on Amazon.com.
The Action At what point does doing the right thing become more important than brewing the best beer? And what if doing the right thing could lead to tragic consequences for the people you love?
While twenty-seven-year-old Brad Peters works the graveyard shift at a major U.S. brewery, he dreams of having the money and freedom to create his own brews. When an old college buddy offers him the chance to be brewmaster and partner in a new, upscale brewpub in Monterrey, Mexico, Brad jumps at the opportunity. They have every ingredient for success, including an underserved market thirsty for Monterrey Brewing Company beers. The only thing they didn’t factor into the recipe was a drug cartel muscling in on the action. As Brad’s reputation grows, so do the cartel’s demands on the business and its successful brewer. How long–and how much–will Brad pay until he finally says no to a ruthless Mexican cartel?
What People are saying about The Brewer’s Justice • Best-selling author Liz Crowe: “Edge of your seat action with a delicious brewery backdrop!” • Colorado maltster and author Dave Thomas: “Mexican drug cartels, extortion, kidnapping, intrigue and craft beer! What’s not to like? Muy bueno!”
Patiño is available for interviews, guest blog posts, appearances and book signings.
