Books & Brews: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
2025-10-19 14:00 - 15:30 UTC
This month we’ll be diving into Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab. This evocative novel encompasses themes of legacy, identity, and the haunting echoes of history – following characters whose lives are shaped by both what is said and what is left unsaid. It’s a story of remembering, of confronting darkness, and finding courage in the spaces between memory and hope.
Books & Brews has quickly become one of our most beloved get-togethers, and we can’t wait to share another afternoon of good conversation (and good beer!) with you.

The People's Forum: "What is Consciousness?"
2025-11-05 19:00 - 20:00 | The People’s Tap, 250 RiverPlace, Greenville, SC, 29601
What Is Consciousness?How exactly is it possible for consciousness to exist? Can it be reduced to purely physical parts and processes, or is there something about consciousness that evades materialistic explanations? And why do we have consciousness, anyway? Does it have a merely biological function, or does it confer some sort of unique moral status upon conscious organisms?

The People's Forum: "The Puzzle of Universals"
2025-12-03 19:00 - 20:00
One of the oldest questions in philosophy concerns the relationship between universals and particulars. We can easily point at particular items, like this equilateral triangle or that isosceles triangle. We call them both triangles because they supposedly share something in common: triangularity. But where is triangularity located? Can we see it or touch it? Is it even real? What is the relationship between triangularity and particular triangles, or, for that matter, between greenness and individual green things? Would there be such a thing as triangularity or greenness if all the individual triangles and green things were destroyed?

Then he meets Rosie Jarman — spontaneous, spirited, and incompatible with every one of his criteria — who pulls Don into her own search for her biological father. Their unexpected partnership challenges everything Don thinks he knows about love, connection, and belonging.

The People's Forum: "What is a Table? Substances & their properties"
2026-01-07 19:00 - 20:00
What makes a table a table? Is it the wood, the shape, its function—or something else entirely?
Join us for the next installment of The People’s Forum, where we’ll dig into a deceptively simple question that opens the door to big ideas about reality, identity, and what it means for something to be what it is. Using everyday objects (yes, like tables), we’ll explore how philosophers think about substances and their properties—what changes, what stays the same, and where meaning really lives.
No philosophy background required—just curiosity, a willingness to wonder, and maybe a drink in hand. Come listen, question, and discuss in a relaxed, welcoming setting where big ideas meet good conversation.

3 Year Anniversary Party
2026-02-07 12:00 - 21:00 | The People’s Tap, 250 RiverPlace, Greenville, SC, 29601
Three years. That still feels a little surreal…

It’s hard to put into words what that really means. The last few years haven’t been easy for small businesses, and there have been moments when things felt uncertain, but this place exists because of you. Your support, your loyalty, and showing up again and again is what keeps our doors open. The friends we’ve made through our unique events, the laughs shared over a game night, a book club, or a tasting, and the memories we’ve built together mean the world. It’s humbling and amazing that so many of you recognize what a special place this is.
Our staff, our community, and the relationships built here make every tough day worth it for a small business owner. To say thank you, we’re celebrating with giveaways from some of our favorite local businesses starting at 3pm.

Come raise a glass, hug your bartenders, and help us toast to three years of The People’s Tap.
