Heavy Seas Logo

One of the things we are passionate about here at Ravenwood Castle and the Malted Meeple is craft beer. We pride ourselves on having an excellent assortment of craft beers for the enjoyment of our guests. We’re thrilled to launch a new monthly blog feature, the Brewer’s Spotlight, in which we raise our pints to the men and women who dedicate themselves to the brewing craft. In our inaugural Brewer’s Spotlight we raise our pints to the folks from Heavy Seas, creator of some of our favorite brews! Founded in Maryland in 1995, Heavy Seas sports a pirate logo, which to the folks of the brewery represents a certain swagger, a lifestyle, an attitude. The company sees the ocean as one of man’s greatest challenges…

Spoils of War

The Game of the Month series highlights one of the many games in our libraries at Ravenwood Castle and The Malted Meeple. We will briefly describe the game, how to play it, and why we like it. The raid is over, but the game has just begun! The victorious Vikings gather in the tent of their chieftain, each with the hopes of returning to their clan with their longboats heavily laden with the Spoils of War! Fortunately, a game was devised many moons ago to help the Vikings split their hard-earned spoils. They will need all their skill – and no small amount of luck – to win the day and the treasure! We are proud to announce our June game of the month: Spoils…

Gaming Away vs A Gaming Stay

Gaming Away v Gaming Stay

Game Night. To each and every gaming circle this means something different. Be it a marathon of board and card games, late night delving into dangerous dungeons, or armies of miniatures clashing into each other on the fields of glory. Game night is a ritual, a meeting of friends, the sharing of the experience, and the retelling of adventures past. And it is typically a ritual that continues week-after-week without interruption; however, this is not always the case. Conflicts arise, work schedules change, and life gets in the way. Sometimes gaming circles just grow restless looking at the same four walls week in and week out. Everyone needs a change of scenery sometimes. Something as simple as an outing with your game group can revitalize…
