YOUR NEXT “ONE MORE GO”
A small game with plenty to get stuck into.
You are the founder of a tiny craft brewery, doing the hands-on work yourself until the beer, the books and the customers all line up.
Sell to a pub, a bottle shop, a restaurant, a hotel and a Saturday market, then deliver by van.
Handle contamination, packaging jams, van breakdowns, customer claims and recalls as they hit.
STILL BEING MADE
Craft Beer Empire is on its way.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Planned for Windows PC
Craft Beer Empire is a brewery management game you play from inside the brewery. You walk a side-on cutaway of the building as the founder, past the brewhouse, three fermentation tanks, the lab bench, the packaging station, the cold room, the loading bay, the office and the taproom, and you do each job by going to its station. Brew a batch, clean the tanks, take samples, test the beer, package it, load the van and deliver to five local venues. Beer ratings and social posts shape what people think of you, and a bad batch can mean a claim, a refund or a recall. Rent outside brewing, canning or cold storage when you run short, then close the week and see where the cash went.

GET COMFORTABLE
Play your way.
Walk the founder with the arrow keys or WASD and press E, or click a station, to do its job. Space pauses the clock, 1, 2 and 3 set the speed, F6 and F7 save and load, and F8 closes the week.
Pausing stops the clock and the brewing, so you can read your panels and plan at your own pace. You can change the speed at any moment and play with the keyboard, the mouse or both.

You can't protect everything, so each night becomes a story about what you chose to save.
Welcome to the last motel before Orion. The beds are clean, the shields mostly work, and tonight's meteor forecast is only moderately alarming.
