Cody HoffmanHost

Here we are at the Atari booth, which is definitely the largest booth at the Expo in all its glory.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:29

And just some of the things on offer here.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:30

First of all, I just realized here, we didn't do this yet, but they have the Atari beer here.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:35

That's right.

Eric NelsonHost

4:35

That's a very Pixel guy then.

Eric NelsonHost

4:36

That is, yeah.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:38

You can only order online.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:39

We were thinking about buying the beers just so we can drink them in here.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:43

Exactly, exactly.

Eric NelsonHost

4:44

We can only order them online.

Eric NelsonHost

4:46

And maybe we do that.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:48

But they actually have two different four-packs.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:51

All right, we've got to cover the beers.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:53

We've got Centipede, Original Bug Battle, Atari.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:57

That's an IPA.

Cody HoffmanHost

4:58

That's a hazy IPA.

Cody HoffmanHost

One Button Joystick, West Coast IPA, also Eric's nickname in high school.

Cody HoffmanHost

5:05

Yep, exactly.

Cody HoffmanHost

5:07

Crystal Castles Gemstone Sour.

Cody HoffmanHost

5:09

Ooh, a tart ale.

Cody HoffmanHost

Night Dive Studios Sunken Treasure.

Cody HoffmanHost

5:15

S'mores Stout.

Cody HoffmanHost
