3Today's pairing is the super chill God/strategy game Reus with Bourbon Barrel Aged Orange Giant Barleywine from Ecliptic Brewing!
Filmed during Earth Day in April, what better way to celebrate than pound down some earth with a giant crab God? I try my hand at a pretty unique strategy game where your job is to guide the Gods to keep the filthy peons happy with the bounties the lands provide. The systems to the game a surprisingly complex, and you have to work the synergies to really succeed.

______________ Beer Details ______________
Now onto the beer! I dug into the cellar and unearthed one of my older bottles from Ecliptic Brewing! Bourbon Barrel Aged Orange Giant (2015 bottle!) an American style Barleywine (booooo!) but thanks to 5 years of time and barrel alcohol heat for beating the hops into dust, this toffee/caramel/vanilla banger ascended from the putrid pile of hop resin to malt-God #BIL legendary status. Cellaring done right!
Bourbon Barrel Aged Orange Giant
American Barleywine
Named after the giant orange stars in the sky, this barleywine ale has a gratifying effect and drinks smooth. Three malts create a hearty malt profile with robust character. Copious amounts of Chinook and Simcoe hops combine for a nice resin hop flavor. Orange Giant is perfect for aging in your cellar.
IBU 80
ABV 12.5%
Gravity 24Β°P

______________ About the Game ______________
Reus is an indie game produced by independent game studio Abbey Games. Reus is a god game in which the player controls giants who can modify the nature of the planet through terraforming, creating life, and altering genes. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on May 16, 2013.
Reus involves guiding four elemental giants who have the ability to shape the two-dimensional planet. The giants can provide resources on each "patch" of land, such as animals, plants, or minerals. The goal is to provide support to the planet's humans, who act on their own and cannot be directly controlled. The actions of the player can influence the humans' behavior; for example, providing humans with too many resources can cause them to be greedy and wage wars with each other.
