A Slice of Historical Fun
Emiliano Pastorelli, Game Director at Hammer and Ravens, shared his excitement, “One of the brightest spots in middle age society, despite the plentiful hardships, was the beer-centric culture offered by monks. Historically, there were a lot of monasteries making and selling ale as a way to fund their establishments. Modern breweries have profited from those original advancements and techniques, and modern gamers can experience the glory of the past in the most entertaining fashion yet thanks to Ale Abbey!”
