The End

Today we end things on Breweriesandgames! in much the same way that we began, with a post whose first draft started in the notes app of my phone.  Our last post a year and a half after we began. Before I get into the meat of  things here’s your to-long, didn’t-read. We’re closing up.  This may not come as a surprise to longtime readers as it’s no secret that posts have been few and far between lately. To say nothing of having missed several important dates. Consistency is an important part of content creation and we haven’t been meeting the goals we set for ourselves. These also aren’t the only goals that aren’t being met.  I have a number of responsibilities, like anyone, and those have only grown in the past year and a half.  While I’ve never considered my obligations here any less important than other writing obligations, they do need to take a back seat to some of practical obligations in my life.

Bonus DLC Review: Assassins Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper

This DLC does what all good additional content for a game should do; add new features while expanding on the setting.

I don't want to get further into the plot for fear of spoilers.  Functionally, you spend most of the game as Evie and all side missions are hers.  You have only two neighborhoods to explore this time, all with a bunch of things to find. The game world i...

Brewery Review: Gordon Biersch SLC

A brewery in an airport!?  What a scandal. Or at least it would have been once. Breweries are everywhere else these days, and some airlines offer craft brews in-flight. So why not have one at an airport, even if it's in a limited capacity. This week we went through the Salt Lake International Airport and saw an old friend. Flagship: multiple Kids: yes Dogs: airport rules Do they brew there: no Food: full menu Has guest taps: yes Events: no Outside seating: no Wifi: yes We've talked about Gorden Biersch before so I'm going to highlight what this place does different. The place is spacious, for an airport at least, and has the usual seating.  Booths and tables encircle a sizable bar.  Being in a busy airport GB was crowded both times I visited.  The whole place sits raised above the security checkpoint with a great view of the nearby mountains the other way.  Now for this next part we need to do a little background. Salt Lake City is in Utah, ...
