(Review). Mythic Beasts and Brews - Easton, PA

Another weekend down by the ancestral manse, taking care of the yard and inside projects, yet another trip to Home Depot.   After the chaos at the local mall with the FLGS  (Cardi B made an appearance... glad I pushed my visit to Sunday), I remembered that Easton did have a second FLGS, it was closer to the Home Depot, and they serve coffee.  

Mythic Beasts and Brews, technically in Wilson Borough, is a small shop handling everything tabletop gaming, plus your favorite coffees, smoothies, and all the varieties there within. 

After a few hit and misses recently, I was greeted by a small young man holding the door for me, as well as one of the owners!   The young man did his very best to get me to buy Magic cards, or paint, or a board game... He wasn't staff, but if you've got a grade school kid plugging the store with that much enthusiasm, you're doing something right.  

Deviating my normal process, I ordered a coffee.... no, a fantasy themed espresso!  Huge jump of faith of me, as I usually take coffee one way....

... but a Dragon's Blood (Breath?) was guaranteed to increase my pillaging.... It was zippy, tasty, and under five bucks.... I think that might have been the most expensive regular item on the menu.

Location:   Freemansburg Ave is five minutes off the major highway.  I easily found free street parking, and that was with a well-attended Magic event going on in the other room.

Miniatures: Warhammer and War Machine, with Citadel Paints.  Wizkids D&D.   Nothing crazy, but also everything in stock! 

Board Games: The immense and diverse selection in the back... and I'll mention here, the free boardgame library for in-store use was in the play area, and was sorted by East/Intermediate/Advanced.  

RPGs: Standard D&D fare

Accessories:  A reasonable selection of dice, sleeves, and accessories.

The gaming area (from their Facebook page).

CCGs: Magic (Spider-man was in stock!) and Pokemon.  I also spied something with my little eye in the case that warmed my heart. 

No, I didn't go into my "I had one back in the day, and it was Beta!" talk.  

Events:  I didn't see the calendar, but there was Magic, War Machine, and D&D sessions going on in their social media.

Food: When plain old vanilla me likes your fancy schmancy Dragon drink, they're doing something right. 

With all that being said, Mythic Beasts and Brews gets four gnomes, on the world-famous Gaming with the Gnomies five-gnome scale. 

They've been in business for five years, they know what they're doing, they're extremely pleasant (even the over enthused grade schooler, I may have to come back just to play a game with that kid!), and they have more than just the basics. Plus I need to go back next weekend, just for a regular cup of coffee... unless their colorful markers on their sign draw me to something else. 

Mythic Beasts and Brews is at 1830 Freemansburg Ave, Easton, PA, United States, 18042.  They're open Monday 3-9, Tuesday-Friday 12-9, Saturdays 10-9 and Sundays 12-8.
