We are having a fundraiser and craft brew potluck at Threadless!

Arcade Brewery is a prospective production brewery. We want to create a deeper connection between our customers and their beer. Our goal is to create amazingly delicious craft beer with the help of our customers.

Arcade Brewery is also collaborating with amazing comic book artists and writers to bring label and packaging design to a whole new level of awesomeness. We are currently working with the talented Tony Moore (The Walking Dead), Eisner-nominated writer Jason Aaron (Scalped, Wolverine, PunisherMAX), and graphic artist Seibei.

Prom Band
America’s meat-fueled, working man’s More Pop genre; now explicitly defined in 8-letter form. An “original” cover band whose continued popularity in Chicago’s downtown & north side club circuit stems from high-energy live performances which employ on-stage theatrics such as heavy metal guitar solos, aggressive rapping, and patriotic Midwestern wardrobes & overtones adapted to popular music from 1970 - present.

Arcade Brewery is also committed to supporting local Chicago indie game developers. We loved arcades when we were kids but we’re not nostalgic for those old games (well, maybe just a little) but mostly we miss getting wowed by something new and experiencing it with our friends.

We will be featuring two local developers and their games will be available to play.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch
The kickstarter funded sequel to the splash hit, Octodad! This time, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium! Are you dad enough to control the titular octopus father as he strives to hide his nautical nature from his family while keeping his tangled tentacles intact?

Release Date: 2013
Platforms: PC / Mac / Linux
Genre: Third-person puzzle action
Developer: Young Horses

POP
POP is an experimental game in the most literal sense. The game was purposefully built in way that explores a different approach to the typical game development pipelines. It was developed by first approaching the music and running with the first game concept that happened to emerge during that creative process.

Release Date: May 2012
Platforms: PC / MAC OSX / OnLive
Developer: Rob Lach
