Ep. 86 - Welcome Back!!!

Welcome back to The Mana Logs, where we pair good games with good brews and occasionally give those games names they never asked for.Tonight, we’re heading deep into the Alaskan wilderness with The Pale Mimic—or, as it will forever be known around here, The Male Picnic.We’ve got a remote cabin, a loyal dog, a fugitive trying to stay hidden, and something out in the woods that can imitate the sounds you trust most. So naturally, our survival strategy is to crack open a beer and see what happens.And tonight’s brew is Meadow from Alma Mader Brewing.And what better way to bring in the first episode of our traditional Halloween series!So grab your beer, keep the dog close, and if you hear someone outside calling your name... maybe don't answer.This is Episode 91 of The Mana Logs: The Pale Mimic and Meadow.Let’s crack it open.The Pale Mimic - https://darksnowgames.itch.io/the-pale-mimic-demoAlma Mader - https://almamaderbrewing.com/Meadow - https://untappd.com/b/alma-mader-brewing-meadow/3439934Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

Welcome back to the Mana logs, and somehow here we are still firing up the metaphoric fireplace, grabbing a cold one, and spoiling another videogame in Episode 90… We have Beast of Reincarnation, a haunted and beautiful traverse with characters Emma and Koo through blighted Japan. And to wash down the conversation we have FC pilz from live oak brewing co!https://fictions.com/games/beast-of-reincarnationhttps://untappd.com/b/live-oak-brewing-company-fc-pils/4964497Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

This time on The Mana Logs...Welcome back to The Mana Logs, the show where we pair great games with great beer and occasionally convince someone else to join in on the chaos. This is episode 89 and tonight we’re jumping into the strange, bright, and oddly unhinged world of Palworld. We also have some back up this time with my better half Brandy! Let's crack open the biggest beer can ever made which happens to be filled with Sand in my Jorts and talk about building bases, catching new creatures and getting those creatures to do manual labor!Palworld - https://www.pocketpair.jp/en/games-en/palworld-en/Big Beach Brewing - https://www.bigbeachbrewing.com/beersSand in my Jorts - https://untappd.com/b/big-beach-brewing-company-sand-in-my-jorts/6767792Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

Welcome back to the Mana Logs where we pair games and brew and let you know what we think. Tonight we’re diving back into the neon-drenched streets of Cyberpunk 2077, a world of cyberware, megacorps, impossible choices, and enough chaos to keep you wondering what's coming next. To fuel tonight's trip into Night City were cracking open Space Dragon IPA from City Barrel Brewing.Cyberpunk 2077 - https://www.cyberpunk.net/City Barrel - https://www.citybarrelbrewing.com/beerSpace Dragon IPA - https://untappd.com/b/city-barrel-brewing-company-space-dragon/3626587Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

This time on The Mana Logs, VH1’s Where Are They Now Edition. It's been a while since we grabbed a couple of drinks, fired up the mics, and talked about games, beer, and whatever else comes to mind. We ended up on some long side quests and now we’re trying to make our way back to the main storyline. So tonight we’re keeping it simple, no deep dive, no official pairing, and no grand mission objective. So grab a cold one, pull up a chair and… Welcome back to The Mana Logs.Maplewood Brewery: Fat Pug - https://maplewoodbrew.com/beer/year-round/fat-pugPerennial Artisan Ales: Sump - https://www.perennialbeer.com/beers/Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

Welcome back to the mana logs. Tonight is episode 85 and we’re diving head first into the monster filled, morally complicated world of The Witcher 3: Wild hunt. To guide us through the swamps, taverns, and heartbreaks, we will be sipping on Brickway Brewery’s Coffee Vanilla Stout. So, grab your potions, sharpen your blades and let's find out if this stout pairs as well with the Wild Hunt as Gwent pairs with losing three hours of your life.

Welcome back to the mana logs, this is episode 84, and tonight we’re locking into arc raiders, a world where survival is scrappy, hope is scarce, and giant mechanized threats have zero chill. It's tense, atmospheric, and built around team work, strategy, and knowing when to fight, or when to run.To balance out the high-stakes chaos, we're pouring St. Bernardus Christmas Ale straight out of Belgium so grab a glass, listen for the hum of incoming ARC machines, and lets see how these 2 stack up.Arc Raiders - https://arcraiders.com/St. Bernardus - https://www.sintbernardus.be/en/brewery/our-beers/stbernardus-christmas-ale-enSocial MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

This time on The Mana Logs, the show where we crack open a drink, boot up our memory banks on our chosen game, and see how they stack up on our scoreboard. Tonight on episode 83 we're heading to the Arcadia star system with The Outer Worlds 2 –a sequel promising bigger choices, sharper satire, and even more corporate nonsense in the cold vacuum of space. Fueling tonight's journey, we're sipping on Double Gingerbread Cookies from Little House Brewing Co. So pour yourself something festive, lock in your companions, and let's find out if this brew pairs perfectly with obsidian's next trip into beautifully unhinged steampunky sci-fi chaos!Outer Worlds 2 - https://outerworlds2.obsidian.net/enterDouble Gingerbread Cookies - https://untappd.com/b/little-house-brewing-company-double-gingerbread-cookies/6435899Social MediaFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/themanalogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themanalogsPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/themanalogsShoutoutsA big shout out to Chad Hammontree for the podcast artwork.

This time on The Mana Logs, we have one of the most recommended games of our tenure here on the podcast with Ghost of Tsushima and what better way to warm up the insides on this windy cold November day than a glass of a rum barrel-aged pecan pie from Boulevard.
