Chapter 3 | The Ale-ightenment is live 🍺🍻
Hey brewers!
It's time for the third major update of our early access!
If you enjoy it, feel free to leave us a review on Steam, you'll help us tremendously 🙏
Cheers and happy brewing 🍻

With the age of Ale-ightenment arrives brand new ideas and tasks for your abbey!
Monks have more to brew and decorate with. From the bishop's new tasks to the new opportunities that bring the new city of Dunkelheim, it's time to dive back into the brewing business. Who knows, maybe you'll even win in the new league of Competition 🏆
And if you still haven't tested the game, it will be 34% off its original price during the Tacticon!
