Braumeister: Der Brauerei-Tycoon

Become a Beer Baron – Build Your Brewing Empire!

Bavaria, 1873. The industrial revolution hits the brewing world. Steam engines replace manpower, railways open new markets – and a few daring brewers found dynasties that still stand 150 years later.

One of them could be yours.

Beer Baron: A Brewery Tycoon is a deep, turn-based economic simulation. You start with a small brewery – and a dream. What you make of it is entirely up to you: a solid family business, a regional market leader, or the beer empire of the century.

From Hop Field to Tavern

Every step of beer production is in your hands:

• Lease fields and cultivate various hop and malt varieties – each with unique properties

• Invest in machinery – from copper kettles to steam-powered bottling lines

• Develop your own beer recipes and perfect them over generations

• Store and age beer in your cellar – the right maturation time makes all the difference

• Supply taverns across the region via contracts or the spot market

• Hire employees – from apprentices to seasoned brewmasters

Strategy Beats Luck

• Turn-based monthly system: Plan carefully instead of clicking frantically

• Dynamic market economy: Prices fluctuate with supply and demand

• Smart AI competitors: Every rival has their own strategy and reacts to your moves

• Research & development: Unlock new techniques, machines, and recipes

• Auctions & competitions: Secure plots of land and earn prestige

• Weather system: Crop failures, heat waves, mild winters – nature plays its hand
