CoHops

With Zack absent this week, Nick and Garritt coerced Daniel to join the show. The trio sample Hive Mind Dark Honey Lager, an interesting four brewery collaboration beer that Garritt picked solely because it has bees on it. Daniel returns to the old west, Nick heads to the future land of the rising sun, and Garritt tours some offices in their recent gaming exploits. There's some discussion about the state of AAA games in 2023, and Garritt can't wait to talk about the Street Fighter 6 demo.

This week the gang tries a fruited mixed culture ale from E9 Brewing in Tacoma. Zack jacks into Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. Nick continues perfecting his RE4: Remake runs, and Garritt finished Death Stranding and started DMC5. A brief mention of Joseph Staten leaving Microsoft is followed by a bad attempt at video game trivia.

This week, we feature a gluten free beer from Ghostfish Brewing: Grapefruit IPA. Zack plays an hour of 20 different games, Nick dives deep into a remake, and Garritt gets lost in the polygonal VR matrix. Remember Multiversus? What's going on with that game? Settle down, crack a brew, and let your ear holes absorb another podcast featuring 3 bearded white dudes.

This week’s episode features a strawberry rhubarb sour ale from Great Divide Brewing out of Colorado. Zack brings it back to the early episodes of CoHops and talks about some recent game collecting, Nick dives down the Resident Evil rabbit hole, and Garritt organizes a fight club. Instead of a news article the crew takes a look at the March 1993 issue of Nintendo Power and learn that Mario Paint is more innovative than Street Fighter II. Find episode 62: Rhubarb Evil: Nintendo Sour wherever you find your podcasts!

This week Nick and Garritt pick up the slack while Zack is gone. Garritt brings a tasty orange and chocolate winter ale from our neighbors to the north, Granville Brewing. Nick continues his Fire Emblem journey and Garritt becomes acquainted with the Koijma-style. In lieu of a news article, this week featured a discussion on games coming out in the next few months that they are excited to experience -- and Nick has an interesting new challenge in mind for one of them! All this and plenty of your favorite tangents on episode 61 of the CoHops Podcast!

It's time to file for a pension, CoHops has hit 60! On this episode, we feature Ecliptic's seasonal Parsec, a grapefruit hazy IPA brewed with actual grapefruit. Meanwhile, Nick waxes poetic about Fire Emblem, Garritt hits up that Hi-Fi Rush, and Zack slings some spells at everyone's favorite wizard school. In news, we mourn the past of a monument of a gaming industry and ponder its future.

This week, the guys sample a special beer gifted by Uncle Chip: Focal Banger from The Alchemist! Zack channels his inner (and outer) Rabbid, Nick Engages with a favorite franchise, and Garritt poses an ethics question.

It's a particularly spicy episode of the CoHops podcast week, with friend of the show Daniel supplying a lager brewed with actual peppers: Suck My Grist, from Fringe Brewing in Ferndale, WA. Zack also brought a salty surprise from Canada to Power Dunk our palates, and the whole crew found themselves trying new things in search of their next big game. In news, a hacking at Riot Games draws attention to cybersecurity, what hacking even looks like these days, and the dangers of anti-cheat software having its fingers too deep into your computer's pie. All this and more in CoHops episode 58: Straight Grist!

On this episode, we have a very special guest, Ian - maker of Garritt's legendary wooden fight stick! Now the whole trio has their own beautiful wooden controllers! After a joke made literal, Zack's mom chose the featured beer for us, modern classic Black Butte Porter from Deschutes. Meanwhile, Nick made some deliveries, Ian drove around in the mud, Garritt started his Shovel Knight journey, and Fortnite made everyone feel old. Check out episode 57, Wood Knight: Porter of Hope!
