It’s official, we’re bringing out a beer in collaboration with Flash House Brewery. 

Grapp’Ale should be out by the end of June/start of July. Looking at a nice crisp and sessionable pale ale, aiming for between 4.7- 5.0%. Keg and bottle.

Sneak peak of the prototype:

If it drinks as good as that label looks, you're on to a winner. Beautiful.

Here’s hoping so. They know what they’re doing which is good. I’ll be discussing hops etc with them soon, can’t wait.

Aye up!

Last update before the next event:

The remaining few tickets (10-20 left before total capacity) for our Ryton Retro games event are available. Anyone who buys a ticket online is entered in to a prize draw to win a brand new table top arcade machine worth £650.

Also, I’ve finally expanded the Grapple Arcade team. We’ve been busy with magazine interviews and podcast chatter in general.

In a nutshell and if it’s of interest:

We interviewed Ryton Retro about the upcoming event for VultureHound:

http://vulturehound.co.uk/2018/05/ryton-retro-games-event/

We reviewed SmackDown! 2 on the PS1 as part of our new regular feature (retro wrestling game reviews)

http://vulturehound.co.uk/2018/05/smackdown-2-know-your-role/

We chatted with NARC magazine about our top 5 wrestling games:

http://narcmagazine.com/feature-grapple-arcades-five-favourite-video-games/

We ran a poll with the Broken But Glorious Pod team and discussed the publics top 5 wrestling games (Spotify pod):

We discussed Wrestling games in general with the 2bit podcast team:

... and last but not least the CWrestling UK team randomly knocked up a little promo vid, which was very kind of them.

 

Finally, I’ll be running a competition soon, so I’ll be back on here asking for you to get involved (and designing).

Thanks all.

I’m knackered.

So it’s been a very busy few weeks. Grapple Arcade has featured at quite a lot of events and we have 1 more to go this week, before a couple of weeks off. So without further ado...

** Beer Launch**

This Friday (20th July) from 7.00pm

MOONSALT will be on keg and bottle at its official launch at The Town Mouse in Newcastle.

As with any Grapple Arcade event, retro consoles will be set up with a selection of classic wrestling games.

Hope to see some of you there.
