A little about beer

We are currently finalizing our hundred some odd list of bottled beers to feature at the shop, and all we can think is–what pressure! While we have a pretty good notion of what’s required to have a balanced line-up, we still feel that our fans will ultimately drive what we serve. Any of you beer geeks out there have requests for specific breweries to be represented?

Feel free to share why you enjoy their brews so much! For example, San Diego’s Green Flash Brewing Co. whips up the West Coast IPA; an Indian Pale Ale that somehow comes off tasting balanced despite its burst of citrus and floral notes. Colorado’s Left Hand Brewing Company brews what is certain to become a new classic, the angelically smooth and chocolaty Milk Stout Nitro. So? Now it is your time to gush! Who knows, maybe your favorite beer will become a regular at your favorite gaming spot?

And while we are at it, is there any interest in growler fills?

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
