Draft Mechanic Episode 8: Thanksgaming! Specter Ops on Tap, and brewery membership societies.
Happy start-to-the-holidays! We’re full of turkey, beer, and board games. Well, maybe not full of games, but filled with the goodness of gaming with the family and gaming away from home! We visited a great games cafe in Boston, lost all our money in Last Will, reached for the sky in Dice Town, and became regulars of 221 Baker Street in Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective. Our secret agent skills were put to the test with Specter Ops in our On Tap segment. Finally, we answer the question of what you should get the beer geek in your life with a discussion of brewery membership societies. Grab your favorite holiday ale and join us for another round!
