Booze & Books Fall Edition

Event Details: 🗓️ Saturday, November 15, 2025 🕛 12 PM – 4 PM 📍 Garden State Distillery - 13 Washington St. Toms River, NJ 🎟️ Entry: FREE Sip Slow, Read Deep — This Fall, Books & Booze Just Make Sense As the leaves turn and the air chills, Garden State Distillery is bringing back one of its coziest crowd-pleasers: Booze & Books – Fall Edition. This event pairs local literature with local liquor in an environment that feels more like a fireside hangout than a formal tasting room. Imagine sipping a house-made whiskey or fall-infused cocktail while flipping through a dog-eared favorite or chatting about your current read with fellow book lovers. It’s not a book club, and it’s not a bar crawl—it’s the best of both. Casual, warm, and undeniably Jersey. 🍸 What to Expect: Handcrafted spirits from Garden State Distillery (NJ-made!) Book-themed vibes and reading nooks for chill time Casual conversation with other readers & local creatives A perfectly low-key, high-vibe fall hangout 🧡 Why It’s On Our Radar: Because sometimes community looks like two strangers swapping book recs over bourbon. Garden State Distillery always keeps it local and laid-back—and this event proves you don’t need a fancy setup to create real connection. It’s booze. It’s books. It’s blissfully simple.
