This year, they are packing some serious drinking fun with the Drink Making Unit 2.0.

You can follow along in the photostream from the very beginning.  … Read the rest

Fatality and a frosty mug: Arcade Bar

We’ve seen our fair share of home made arcade machines, some complex and some simple. This one stands head and shoulders above the rest with its ability to combine two of our deepest loves: beer and video games. There’s not a lot of information, just a few pictures. We’d love to see some build shots or action shots.  … Read the rest
