We’re both discussing Burger Up and putting it on tap with four great thematic beer pairings. In other recent plays, we look at New York Slice, Star Trek Ascendancy and Paris Connection. There’s a whole cartload of upcoming games news and Kickstarters, and Danielle wraps it all up to go with a collection of news bites from the beer world.
