Thank you for your participation in our Early Access!

We’ve been blown away by all the love you’ve shown since the last update! Seeing so many of you jump back into the Abbey, brewing away, and leaving kind words on Steam has been a real joy for the whole team.

You made us pass 500 reviews! That’s no small feat for a bunch of monks with questionable brewing methods in an always growing abbey. If you’ve enjoyed the latest update and haven’t dropped a review yet, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Every single one of them helps us gain some more visibility on Steam so you'd help us a lot by doing so 🍻

if you missed it, we’ve already rolled out patches v0.3.1 and v0.3.2 based on your early feedback. Most of your reports and feedback has been addressed. That's more than 2500+ in-game reports that we dealt with since the first demo release, and we're not slowing down!

These tweaks were only the beginning. With the latest patch out and fermenting nicely, our eyes are now set on what’s ahead. And trust us, there’s more brewing behind the scenes...

Stay tuned for the next batch of updates coming soon 👀
