Pairing with that we have another Texas adventure brew from Weathered Souls Brewing, finally a stout for stout s...

This time on The Mana Logs, we took on a 2nd job as city designer and manager in Cities Skylines 2 and paired that with another Texas special with Austin Beer Garden Brewery’s Industry Pils.
