“It's one of the better time-wasting simulators, still a time-wasting simulator. Charming presentation but ultra repetetive with marginal progression. The UI at times is very counter intuitive.

“Fun but flawed. You have a decent amount of options for customizing your brews, but it seems like it's nearly always better to make the worst and cheapest version of a brew in order to maximize profit. Example: Barleywine with the absolute…”Recommended · Steam review · Sep 2025 · 27 h played · Report / request removal

“This must be the origin story of a specific country associated with beer … :thinking: I randomly saw this game in a vid and loved the gorgeous design.
