S1 Ep3: Game Over Beer with Michael Deakin

Hello and welcome to another ever episode of Game Over Beer!

It’s a simple format on Game Over Beer, our guests will choose 3 beers and 3 games and tell us why they mean so much to them.

Now, joining us this week on Game Over Beer is Michael Deakin, co-founder of Out and About and co-host of Does it Shandy?

We talk about the gateway pint that got Michael into beer,  how playing a certain video game linked to ending up drunkenly dancing with a friends mum, and also, a personal account of how a game had a part in helping Michael with an eating disorder.

There is a brief warning from Michael when we begin to chat about this at 25:21, so if this is a trigger for anyone, please skip ahead.
