• Industrial Revolution (1850 AD): Laugh along with Tobias the Tinkerer, whose experimental stout powered a broken steam carousel.
• The Cold War (1950 AD): Cheer for Edith the Intrepid, who brewed a “truth-telling ale” to expose spies in her sleepy village.
• Modern Day (2024 AD): Marvel at Rob from The Hidden Tap, whose AI-crafted ales caused glitter-filled chaos at a craft beer festival.
