Power-Ups and Pints is my in-person gaming event series. The first event begins on February 20, 2025. The chosen game for this event is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch. The venue will be Fort Nonsense Brewing Company. The event will begin at 6:30 and end at 9:30.

I am partnering with the brewery to provide a special discount to all attendees called the 16-bit discount. You will have the chance to receive a discount from 1% off - 16% off when you are ready to close out your tab. During the final game of the evening, the top 4 players of the event will play for prizes.
