It's an interesting game, but abandoned and never got to where people wanted it. It's ethically concerning to see it on Steam sale, while I still recommend it, people should be aware that it is incomplete and won't be developed any further.

very in detail but luckily it guides you through the recipes, please let us get fucking wasted on the beer we make and then go forth to make more beer while wasted genuinely the only thing missing so far

I'm right on the edge about recommending this one. It's quite a time sink, but doesn't seem like much fun in the later hours. I only do extract brewing in real life, so this was interesting to check out. But there are limitations here where there are no notes, and you don't deal with sanitisation beyond clicking "clean" at the sink for some of the larger equipment. The tubing is really buggy, mostly visually. Also I've never put boiling water through flexible tubing, that's generally a no-no, but it's fine here.

I like it. There aren't many games out there that focus around brewing beer (and other products). Let alone that do it in so much detail. There is no time pressure and it is just a game you can sit down and take your time with. At first missions seem timed because of the season, but you can stretch this however long you want to brew that perfect beer.
You get recipes and if you follow those closely enough you brew a certain type of beer, but you can also adjust it to your liking. Ferment it a little longer or use different hops. Or you could even brew 2 recipes exactly and then mix them if you are a barbarian like that. You can go completely bananas with the mixing really. Like throwing in 50% milk or making ethanol to then mix with a 15% beer to get something even stronger.
Gameplay wise you have normal missions with a little storyline and competitions where you try to brew beer with certain bonus requirements that the judges like more. At some point you also unlock breweries (which are kinda like retailers) which sell one of the beers you brewed for some regular income. They have a particular taste preference as well.
In terms of management/business game, this is not the game for you. You won't be running a pub or actual brewery with finances and employees and do things from a macro level. This is purely beer brewing process and how to make different styles. You use your money/points to buy more ingredients and equipment so you can experiment more and try different styles/processes.
I especially like that in the end you get to see your product and design a label + bottle/glass which you can then showcase in your home. It's a neat feature. You also don't have to follow a recipe to the letter. You can deviate quite a lot and still mark your beer as a certain style.
In terms of bugs, I had a few small ones like the sound of a pump being stuck even when removed, but nothing really gamebreaking that I can recall or that a reload wouldn't fix.
My biggest "complaint" is just that I would have liked to see more missions and things to do. So I kinda ran out of content/goal to do. But the game in itself is complete. It's not abandoned/EA in my opinion. I enjoyed it for many hours already.

Great game! I was pleasantly surprised with the depth in detail the developer provides. There's loads of different beer styles to try and seemingly every minute detail during the brewing process affects the myriad tasting and scoring points at the end. I'm hooked.

I hadn't added enough of a coffee flavour for one batch. So, I just boiled up some coffee and poured it into the keg. Don't tell anyone, but I think I got away with it.
Get it on sale and pour yourself an erdinger.

i really like the game. I became obsessed with it almost instantly!! There was a bit of struggle trying to comprehend how to achieve the jobs, but as you progress you get more tips and get better, the fandom wiki for the game is helpful though ^-^
