April’s Bards & Brews will be an Open Mic night at the downtown location of the Birmingham Public Library and is sponsored by the law firm of Wallace, Jordan, Ratliff & Brandt, LLC. There will be a very special tribute to the Bard himself in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

As always, Master of Ceremonies Brian “Voice Porter” Hawkins will deftly guide both novice and veteran poets through an evening of verse with topics that can include relationships, politics, social justice, and even the best way to get a ticket to see Hamilton.

Beer tasting will be available courtesy of Good People Brewing and there will be a few samples of mead provided by The J.Clyde. 

Attendees must be 18 years or older to be admitted, and 21 years or older to be served. IDs will be checked at the door.
