Brewmance: Love on Tap

by Mary Haarmeyer, Craig Beeman

When big business threatens to drown out small-town dreams, a quirky community must rally behind their beloved brewery in a story that's as bold as a mug of Lunar Eclipse Porter and as effervescent as a freshly poured High-Fly Pilsner.
Amber Kein never set out to be special; she just wanted to make great beer. Guzzles Brewery isn’t just her brewery; it’s a second home for the misfits of Lovington, New Mexico. It’s where theories about aliens and chupacabras are swapped over pints, where her neighbors find belonging, and where the magic of her craft comes to life with every sip of her meticulously brewed creations. But when a competing brewery, a soulless corporate giant, sets its sights on erasing everything she’s built, Amber refuses to back down.

Enter Samuel Maddox, the charming marketer with a knack for strategy and more than a passing interest in Amber. With his fresh ideas, sharp wit, and unwavering belief in her vision, he’s the unexpected partner she didn’t know she needed. Together, they concoct creative campaigns, outrageous events, and even some questionable stunts to fight back against the big brewery’s relentless aggression.

This isn’t just a battle between two breweries; it’s a declaration of love for craft beer, for community, and for being unapologetically yourself. With Guzzles’s quirky patrons by her side and the power of good beer behind her, Amber is ready to prove that sometimes the small, unpolished gems can outshine even the biggest juggernauts.
Raise your glass to Brewmance – Love on Tap, a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale of resilience, romance, and the magic that happens when people come together for something they truly believe in.

Will Guzzles hold strong against the tidal wave of big business? Or will Amber’s dream become just another casualty of corporate greed? One thing’s for sure—this fight will be one for the history books... or at least the brew logs.
Cheers to love, laughter, and a damn good pint.

This was a heartwarming story about a brewery, a town, and the people in the town. Amber Kein is trying to save Guzzles Brewery, the place her father started and loved so well. Samuel Maddox comes to help her try to save the brewery. Then, of course, there is Fred the llama. Samuel's boss sent him to help, or did he?
