Beers and Beards #4
Nothing But Brew Skies
Lord Peter Roughtuff is bored.
It’s been almost a month since the events of the Octamillenial, and the Kingdom of Crack has entered a golden age of brewing. At the center of everything is the newly minted Lord Peter Roughtuff, the infamous co-owner of the Thirsty Goat Brewpub. His beloved beer has been saved and he has the Kingdom’s full support for his new brewing practices. He should be having the time of his life, but with nothing to focus his attention, he’s feeling somewhat adrift.
So, when an opportunity arises to travel as the Kingdom’s Sacred Brew ambassador, Pete jumps at the chance. He’s in a fantasy world, so why not actually go see some of the fantasy? Of course, the Great Game of the Gods is still ongoing, but he’s already befriended half of his fellow Chosen, so what could possibly go wrong?
Join Pete as he travels from the high-topped trees of the elven Kingdoms and the sunny shores of the human city-states, to the rolling plains of the beastfolk tribes. From sparkling ciders to elven wines, it’s time to leave the underground and beer behind. So roll up your beard, and give a hearty cheer, because for Peter Roughtuff, there’s Nothin’ but Brew Skies ahead!
The final installment in a Cozy Fantasy Series filled with love, laughter, epic fantasy, and a little melancholy. Beers & Beards balances epic fantasy & slice-of-life with charm aplenty and a charisma score high enough to make a bard blush. It doesn't matter if you like beer or not, this is set to fill your need for comforting stories.

I loved this story! what a great end
Thank you jolly!! For this amazing story and for the laughs. It was one of the first story’s I read coming into LitRPG and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending!! I cannot wait to see what other adventures you plan to write in the future.

I read the first book almost two years ago about a month after my father passed. He passed much like the beginning of this story. That chapter was one of the hardest things to read in my life. How could I know that it would begin one of my favorite series I’ve ever read. Everything about it is wonderful, the narrative, the tone, the humor, the pop culture references and how could you not enjoy the puns.
Maybe part of why I loved this story so much is about a month before my father passed we discussed having a beer together. We were lucky enough to have that beer three days before he was gone. He only drank maybe a quarter cup at most but to me it was the most important beer I’ve ever had.
Thank you for this story

Friggintastic! Best book evarrr! And After winning the Brewers Tournament as The Best Brewer in the World. Pete does what he does best, fermenting and teaching his craft! Pete also sets his sites on a much higher goal, making all booze available including Elfen Wine, Mead, and a peculiar form of Rice Wine to name a few. Ohhhh and a couple of Pete’s abilities are to change Fate, and Devine Intervention, so who knows what he's gonna do next. And how can you forget about Penelope the Beer drinking, Queen of Unigoats!
With plenty of pop-cultural music, movie, and book references you can't go wrong when you grab this action-driven litRPG adventure.
Here's a few quotes:
"I really wanted to drink more elven wine, but it was at roughly the same level of really wanting a bloody Oreo cookie."
“It’s a bear,” Raysdotter shouted. “It’s a deer,” Flowerpott chimed. “And it’s drunk.” Starshine sighed. “It’s a beer!”
"He looked like if Mr. T and Thor had a short baby."

A fantastic read!
I loved this one as much as I loved the whole series! The whole cast of characters is fun to read in this story (as they are in all the other books), and this book just flew by! The pacing was great to keep reading all day or for short bursts. I hope this isn't the end of the series because I've become quite attached to Pete and family and all the great characters, but it stops in a satisfying place if it is.

For Crack! For Annie!
What a fun series. Good books, about a good guy.
I like the world, the system, the connection of all the universes and I like Pete. I also enjoyed all the silly puns and the strong dose of Canadian culture, you guys ROCK!
Also, the lessons on beer brewing, wine making, along with cider and rice wines were great fun!
I do wish that this last book had been two, rather than one. And that it was not the last one.
Be good yo each other!

I enjoyed this book, and I thought it was a pretty good ending for the series. Like at least a few other readers, I thought it was pretty rushed, and I felt like it would have been better as a couple of books. That said, I think the author was done with the series, and did at least end it well, if a bit rushed. Still I thought Jolly Jupiter was a good author, and I will have to read his next series once it is further along.

Definitely feels like a bit of a rushed ending (like halfway through the book the author decided to end the series), but it was still enjoyable and the ending fit within the series.
Overall it was a fun series with lots of talk about booze. One of the best things about this series is that it didn't turn the MC into a warrior. He started as a brewer and ended as a brewer.

fun
The conclusion to the gods games is coming. All the chosen gather. The MC confronts the challenges of teaching brewing while trying to craft wine. Monsters develop souls and skills. The Game ends. Someone else wins.
A conclusion that left you feeling it was too soon as you want more of the characters. Steady pacing. Fun world. Awesome narrator. Please enjoy

Another great book with one caveat
This is another installment in a wonderful series and I highly recommend that you both read and buy it. With that said, this felt rushed co.oared to the earlier novels with the amount of time covered being 4-5 times as much as the earlier novels yet the book was about the same length.

Another fantastically awesome sequel.
I really loved reading this book and series. It was funny and engaging. The story and characters were incredibly interesting and entertaining. I'm sorry to see it end. The series' ending was satisfying. This book and series are definitely worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.

Great read
As a lover of all kinds of beers and different alcohols, I picked up this series of books. I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed reading them and learning different things! If you're in the mood for fun stories then this is definitely a series you should read.
