Hey Brewers!

Thank you for all of your feedback and comments on how you would like to see the game evolve. We've been updating the game a lot lately, and it's now time to move onto bigger updates. Here is the roadmap and the next major updates you can expect.

[hr][/hr][h2]Early Access so far[/h2]
As you may have noticed we have had a lot of updates this month, after your numerous feedback we wanted to fix and address everything you sent us (thank you for using the f11 hotkey for feedback as well as our forums).

Over the last month, we have added some important Quality of Life updates that you were asking for, including some key mappings, adjusting the needs and skills of the Fermentines and redesigning the UI to improve your experience.

[h2]The road to the release[/h2]
The Early Access will be divided into 5 different content updates. Each of them will add new major content enriching the journey as you go through it. We're talking tasks improvements and some more unique events and world building. If you have already spent a lot of time on the game, don't worry, new markets and beer styles will be unlocked to further expand your fame and opportunities.

In addition to these content arrivals, you can also expect some quality of life features and other mechanic tweaks based on your current (and upcoming) feedback, cheers to you for helping us shape the game.🍻

Expecting the next update? You won’t have to wait that long… The first content update will be available next month! See you soon for more details🔍
