5.0 out of 5 stars Great game.
If your looking to learn how to brew beer this is not the way to go. There are many great books you can find to help with brewing. If you want to learn about the economics of a brewery then this game is a great introduction the world of balancing time, energy, and all the parts that make a brewery a brewery.

Cheers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buggy system makes fun game unplayable
I really like the idea of this game, and had a lot of fun playing with it. The beer creation system is really nice, and the amount of customization in making the beers is really great. Unfortunately there are 2 big issues. One is that when the game was localized they did not ensure the text stayed within the buttons, so sometimes it is unreadable. Also, the forklifts and...

2.0 out of 5 stars Buggy system makes fun game unplayable, May 28, 2010
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Beer Tycoon (CD-ROM)
I really like the idea of this game, and had a lot of fun playing with it. The beer creation system is really nice, and the amount of customization in making the beers is really great. Unfortunately there are 2 big issues. One is that when the game was localized they did not ensure the text stayed within the buttons, so sometimes it is unreadable. Also, the forklifts and such are not just pretty animations, they are literally transporting stuff around your facility and they have terrible pathing. This means that once you get a larger plant very often this forklifts get stuck and your beer spoils.

I wish they'd come out with a sequel that did not have this pathing issues, as it is the game becomes unplayable.

It's a good game to play. It's recommendable. Before playing, must walk through the manual on separate section because it doesn't have tutorial section when the game started.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Game Sux, March 16, 2010
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Beer Tycoon (CD-ROM)
This game sux so bad i cant even believe i bought it. Sketchy at best. It would be prob cool if it came with some kind of instruction on what to do. The interface is not for the beginner. You also have to have forklifts to transfer your beer around the yard. If you cant move product it spoils. If it spoils you cant sell it. So all in all you cant get more than about 45 min in the game because of the forklifts messin your whole opperation up. the forklifts just ram themselvs into walls n' junk. I hate this game
