It’s Thanksgiving week here in the US and my schedule has me in the office only two days this week! Since I didn’t post a standard Monday Brews last week we’ve got a lot to cover! Let’s start with the Barley…

The Barley:

BARLEY SPOTLIGHT:
Sixpoint Global Warmer Imperial Red Ale

I had never had an Imperial Red Ale before. It was quite enjoyable. Sixpoint produces pretty hoppy beers, but I found that the “Red” style complemented the hoppy character quite well.

• Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale
• Ale Asylum Bedlam Belgian IPA
• New Belgium Accumulation White IPA
• New Belgium 1554 Black Ale
• Deschutes Jubelale Festive Winter Ale
• Wisconsin Brewing PsycHOPath Imperial IPA
• Capital Autumnal Fire Doppelbock
• MKE Black Iron India Black Ale
• Great Dane Stone of Scone Scotch Ale
• Anchor Brewing Brekle’s Brown
• New Glarus Pie Lust Pumpkin Ale
• Capital Ghost Ship White IPA
• Lake Louie Warped Speed Scotch Ale

The Boards:

BOARDS SPOTLIGHT:
Mutiny

I have a love/hate relationship with Mutiny. I hate it because I’m terrible at lying and you have to be sneaky in this game. I love it because it’s SOOOO good, and just got better!

We tested a new version with new roles for the game. These new roles added a lot to an already terrific game. I’m very excited for the future of Mutiny!

Normally I also share a “Designer’s Corner” update but there’s too much to discuss here briefly. So I’m planning on having a Game Design Debrief after Thanksgiving. I’m sure you’re looking forward to that!
