  • Details: Bards & Brews celebrates the new year with their first open mic of 2023. Support some of the Birmingham metro area's most talented poets, including featured poet Glennwood. Attendees are welcome to take the stage and share their original works or listen to others as a part of the crowd. Mersey Craft Spirits will be providing drinks for the first time at Bards & Brews. Patrons must be 18 and up to attend and 21 and up with proof of I.D. to drink. This program is sponsored by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

Throughout the year of 2023, Bards & Brews will host a mix of alternating featured poets and guest entertainers as the opener.

Mersey Craft Spirits will be joining us for the first time, providing drinks for the night. They are a local distillery founded in 2018 inspired by the adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit of Gavin and his family member's ancestor F.A. Poole. Mersey gets its name from the Queen of the Mersey ship that had two voyages to New Zealand, which is where the Poole family hails from. You can "taste the terroir" in their grain to glass spirits, reflecting the local environment the grain grows in.

Join us for the first Bards & Brews of 2023 with an open mic at the Central Library!
