As you progress far enough in the markets, you’ll have the opportunities to show your skill in
specific competitions organised against other abbeys. If you’re willing to test your might and with
enough florins to submit your application, you’ll be able to
prove yourself! These contests offer a great way to
earn valuable rewards and other things that' we'll present later. Each competition is
organised in leagues, prepare yourself to climb to the top of the brewery podium
one competition at a time.

To succeed in these competitions, you’ll need to meet the
specific expectations set by the judges. Even more than casual orders with specific demands, every judge has
their own preferences and standards in terms of foam, age, foam,etc…
Understanding their unique tastes can make the difference between a standard beer that fulfilled its goal, and
the ale that will win their hearts

reputation and (and selling cost) enhanced but you’ll also be able to get
