New Book Published: Beer and Video Games

The Quirkz Handbook of Drinking Beer and Playing Video Games

My new book is out!

Beer and video games! The only thing more fun than either of them is both of them together. Aaron Rath, a game creator and homebrewer, brings you this book of short essays covering more than forty years of gaming, beer drinking, pop culture, and life experiences.

Funny and engaging, these essays pair a beer and a video game with a curious insight, a poignant moment, or a day of pure delight. Blend Atari and PBR and childhood obsessions, or Skyrim and Hofbräu Dunkel and personal quests. Combine Guinness Stout and Contra, or Rogue Dead Guy and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Experience secret grottoes, weird fixations, and the disappointment of unreliable first impressions in the beer and computer worlds.
