KINGFIELD – Rolling Fattie’s “Word Buzz” series continues Thursday, April 6 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with Maine author, entrepreneur, and beer expert Josh Christie. Josh takes all the best things about living the Maine life and puts them into Print.
Print: A Bookstore, Josh’s recent endeavor with Emily Russo, opened at 273 Congress Street in Portland in November featuring adult and children’s titles in a space that welcomes community involvement. That, along with his books on outdoor adventure and beer drinking make him a great inspiration for Rolling Fatties.
“I’ve always wanted to drink beer and ride my bike like it’s my job,” says Rolling Fatties owner, Rob MacMichael. “Josh is onto something.”
Making a living from living in Maine seems to be the way for Josh. His most recent books, written with his late father John Christie and published by Maine’s Down East Books, are “Skiing Maine,” a local guide to skiing the sneaky spots and “Maine Outdoor Adventure Guide,” a trip oriented guide to Maine outings. They pair well with his first two titles, “The Handbook of Porters and Stouts” and “Maine Beer: Brewing in Vacationland.” Come chat brews, books, and adventure with this deeply rooted Mainer.
