An Adventure Brewing

A Cozy Fantasy LitRPG

By: JollyJupiter

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland

Shopcraft, brewing skills, charisma—it'll take that and more to build the tavern of his dreams.

Pete is a simple man who enjoys a good drink amongst good friends. Not too much to ask, right?

Now, he's trapped in a fantasy world far from home, stuck underground and inside the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair.

The worst part?

The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the motherlode?

All he wants is to bring new and better beers to the world, but unfortunately altering dwarven beer is frowned upon. So he has a lot to prove.

Listen to this cozy fantasy adventure filled with laughter, epic fantasy, love, and a little melancholy. It balances progression and slice-of-life with charm aplenty and a charisma score high enough to make a bard blush. Whether you like beer or not, this is set to fill your need for comforting stories.

About the series: Join Pete as he establishes a tavern from the ground up after finding himself in a new world, leveling up his skills in brewing, shopcraft, and much more as he serves eccentric patrons of all shapes and sizes. This cozy fantasy LitRPG is perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Cursed Cocktails, and Baking Bad. Does feature some monster fights and injuries. No elves or harems allowed.

An amazing book.

I enjoyed every second of this. A great slice of life book filled with interesting and entertaining characters that was funny and engaging from start to finish. It was nice listening to a story that wasn’t all doom and gloom. Can’t wait till the next book.

Good from start to finish

Enjoyable story with memorable characters. Alot of back stories that hopefully will be addressed in future stories.

Beers and Beards! You get what you buy.

I loved this book because it was essentially as advertised. The humor and narration helped me stay enthralled through some of the slower parts but the pacing was still leagues better than some other books where the first half is unessential and the last half is what you were waiting for at the end of the previous novel all crammed into the last 9 or so hours. Admittedly the narration was a bit off at times and I occasionally rewound or just mentally skipped over some conversations in the book because I couldn't make out the words through the narrators dwarf accent but it really added to the charm of the book and I wouldn't have a piece of it changed. TLDR A fun, humorous book on dwarf society, magic, and the art of the brew.

Heart

Well wasn’t expecting to find another series that is a must get book 2 but turns out I’m really good at finding books that I’ll love lol

It was a fun listen

I found it humorous and as a DM I always like hearing more insights on races, especially dwarves.

A great beer story

The narration is superb and brings the story to life, amplifying the listening enjoyment. Some of the historical beer antidotes are interesting and a pleasure.

can't wait for the sequel!

wow what a read, I flew through it and was sad to learn the second book isn't out yet. looking forward to more brews and beards.

Comedic fantasy slice of life

This book had me laughing the whole way through. The reader does a great job at portraying each character’s personality and the author makes even serious events feel light hearted. This book scratches that fantasy itch without taking itself too seriously. I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys a fun fantasy slice of life.

Best book I've listened to in a long time

A great listen, both funny and immersing. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys food and beer

solid

fun book. the writing leaves a little to be desired but the characters are excellent to end the references and puns and jokes are perfect
