The Loop
Farm ingredients, research better brewing, run timed batches, serve the pub, then grow into Ship and Market systems. Each tab feeds the next.
Hop Farm
Tap ingredient tiles to harvest hops, water, malt, and yeast. Hire Farm Crew for passive production, and use research to boost ingredient output and unlock higher-tier recipes.
Farm Crew Morale
Your Farm Crew has a Crew Spirit meter that drifts down over time — Mutinous, Grumbling, Content, Inspired — and lower tiers cut passive output. Use Crew Meal or Happy Hour to keep spirits up. Let it sink too far and a strike can turn into real sabotage: your stockpile gets wiped (fix it with a quick pipe-repair puzzle) or half the crew walks out until you pay them, win them back, or let a farmhand go for good.
Brew House
Pick a recipe, spend ingredients, and start a timed batch. Fermenter tanks add brew slots, assistants automate them, and new recipes unlock through city progress plus ingredient research.
Brew Pub
Sell finished kegs over the bar for cash and fame. Tap the brewpub to serve stocked beer manually, then hire bartenders to start automatic service. Buildout levels and pub upgrades increase service capacity, keg value, and the speed of each sales round.
Distribution
Ship has two lanes: Distribution upgrades create passive income, while Customers offer timed Special Orders. Review two customer calls, choose one account to grow, then commit to Standard or higher-risk Priority delivery.
Competitions
Enter judged beer competitions from the Brew House. Read the panel clues, choose one of four beer options, and win cash, fame, medals, and permanent beer value boosts.
Marketing
Launch campaigns for limited-time sales boosts. Marketing upgrades strengthen campaign payouts, add passive fame, improve distribution sales, and unlock city merch collections.
Random Events
Good and bad events fire throughout the day. Positive ones are free wins; problems can cost cash, kegs, fame, or pub income for a while. High-stakes crises can be resolved instantly by watching an ad — smaller ones you just ride out.
Cities & Winning
Your brewery moves through a series of cities, each bigger, pricier, and more competitive than the last. Hit a city's fame and revenue thresholds to move on. The final city is the finish line: max out fame, lifetime earnings, Legacy items, and brewpub buildout, and brew every recipe at least once to complete the game.
Tips
- Always have a batch running — idle brew slots waste time.
- Standard guarantees profit and account progress. Successful Priority deliveries earn more profit potential, 50% more fame, and faster account progress.
- Research pays off fastest on the ingredients you use most.
- Your brewer's perk is permanent — choose based on your playstyle.
- Keep Crew Spirit above Grumbling — a strike is a lot more expensive than a Crew Meal.
