Hello and welcome to Season 2, episode 5 of Game Over Beer with Joe Dowling
 
It’s a simple format on this podcast, our guests will choose 3 beers and 3 games and tell us why they mean so much to them.

I’d like to start by saying a huge thank you to our returning partner, Four Quarters, they are the UK’s original arcade bar and home to authentic retro arcade machines and consoles and you can find them in London, Bristol and Newcastle.

Also, a huge thank you to our new partner We Are Beer, they put on some of the best craft beer festivals across the UK in Bristol, Manchester and London and if you use code GameOverBeer, you’ll get £10 off.

Now, on to our guest, Joe Dowling

We spoke about a game that in part inspired his writing, a brewery he believes is current the best in the UK, and a game that will have you all running on to your switch and getting the NES emulator going.
