Bunny Aug
Although many debate this, Bunny was born from the love between Art and Nintendo. With their birth of her, she embodied both of them, a passion for drawing and playing video games. Since she was birthed from a console, she has a particular love of them, although more recently she has accepted PC gaming into her heart. She vowed at a young age, to make art for video games, to try and make her parents proud.

She went to college and tried her best but found that it was a difficult industry to get into, and perhaps pleasing her parents isnt what she wanted. One day on a long walk pondering her life's goals she found Battle and Brew. She saw they had alot of great ideas, but needed someone more creatively inclined to execute them. She vowed then to do her best to help out this wonderful place that she loved. Thusly, without realizing it, she had found herself a job that involved both video games and art!

Sean was born into the early years of video games. Mastering the ways of the intelevision and early PC games Sean knew it was in his blood to work with these programs. He vowed not to be the one that pwns noobs, for that was another mans quest. No, Sean vowed to treat all games equally, give them his fair share of time and become knowledgeable on them all. But, as we all are, Sean was limited by his means, thusly the majority of games were played on the PC.

When puberty hit Sean fell in love- with coffee. He got jobs to work with coffee, from the lower rungs of the barista ladder up to the top rungs of the roasting warehouse- Sean worked hard for his love. During it all though, video games were there for him, like any best friend is. And, as fleeting as love is, coffee had thrown Sean to the wayside. What was he to do? Well, Sean remembered his goals, his roots, and decided that he must expand his love of games- from the PC to the console!

Sean worked for a time at the Game Stop, managing its people and games, playing a plethora of them, and becoming more well rounded for it. He was pleased with his knowledge and the fruition of his goals, for all video games loved him, and he them (except sports games, like the family black sheep, they were shunned). But Sean knew there was more in the world. While he didn't desire to do gods work of creating games, he knew there must be something more out there for him, and he needed to find it.

So Sean went on a spiritual journey, it was a long, 14 hour trip through forests of trees, concrete and smog. He knew this to be a tough journey, one where evil may tempt him, but he knew that wherever the end may lie, would be the beginning of a new journey, one that would lead him towards this unknown goal. The trip was long and hard but Sean persevered and made it through, and found himself in Georgia. What could possibly await him here?

Well Sean dabbled with his old love coffee for awhile, she was ever the tease. But one day, it happened. There it was, Battle & Brew. Glowing red with love Sean knew he had found his place. Beer and Video games? This was what he was looking for! the next step in enlightenment! Sean knew it to be, and it was.

Hyatt came to the bar one hot summer day, a piece of straw in his mouth and two knives by his side. A tumbleweed blew past him as he raised his hat. "Word is you need a chef." he murmured while walking up to the bar. We were wary of this visitor, as we had not advertised the need of a chef, and he had left the door open. But as the fates had it, we didnt know we needed him until he had arrived. Hyatt fell in with the B&B crew well, and busts out the food faster than a pig can run at baconfest.

Gunnar seems like your average guy. Likes a beer, a smoke, and good company. He's got a few tattoos, and his facial hair comes and goes. He'll help you setting up a game, getting you a beer or burger and generally making your time at the Brew pleasurable. But what have we learned from comics and movies? The "plain guy" is always a super hero.

That's right, Gunnar is just his secret identity! We haven't determined which superhero Gunnar is, or what is superpowers are yet. We need all the help we can get in figuring this out! Keep an eye on him and watch to see if he slips up at work and moves really fast, or bends some steel when he thinks no one is looking. Are there any disasters being diverted when Gunnar isnt at the bar? With your help we can figure out this mystery!
Athena Sanchez
One day Sean was working and realized that the bar could use some more help. Instead of going through the regular hiring process, he decided to look through some HP Lovecraft books and conjure up some help that way. I mean, what better help than the undead, right? They're willing to follow orders well enough, at least that's what movies have taught us.

So Sean came in one Wednesday night with Athena. Beautiful and stunning, some have thought she's a vampire, others heard Sean rose her from the grave, so others speculate she's zombie. No one knows for sure what form of the undead she is, and no one dares to ask. Once someone mustered up the courage to question Sean about it, and all he said was "As long as she keeps serving beer, does it matter?"

So come on in when this otherworldly creature is working and order a beer. Maybe if she fails to deliver it, you'll find out what type of creature she be.

Greg Sapitowicz

Greg's journey is one that is clouded in mystery. For everyone has known of a man such as he. Some say they have heard tales of his prowess on the Rock Band, that he once played all instruments at once and got a perfect score. Others say that they have seen him play ice hockey and that he got injured once- by shooting a rocket out of his knee to score the winning goal. Stories been told that his Google-Fu can be outmatched by no-one.

 

Whatever the truth may be Greg's Journey has him currently at Battle & Brew. It is rare for people to see him, as he is an early dweller at the bar, arriving and departing before sunset. Should you want to meet the man, the mystery that is Greg, be sure to come visit him in the early hours, have some lunch, and maybe you'll have your own tale to tell.

Not much is known of John before he started working at the Brew. In fact, many find it hard to remember him ever not working there, although we know it to be truth that he wasn't always there. John always wears a smile and is a laid back guy. But why always smile?

He has told us that deep down inside him lies a monster. One day this monster will be released. He is unsure of where or when, but until then it feeds on negative energy, so he always tries to smile, to prolong the day of its reckoning. For you see, when that monster emerges, it will destroy the John that we know and love.

So, if you see John at the bar, if he smiles at you be sure to smile back.
