Brewmaster and Next Glass Partnership, plus our New Demo

/

We’ve got loads of exciting Brewmaster news, a new partner to announce, some streams, and a demo! Read on to find out what we’ve been up to.

🤝🏾 Brewmaster and Next Glass partnership 🤝🏻 

We are very excited to announce a new partnership with Next Glass for our upcoming game Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator. Next Glass is the leading global provider of software, eCommerce solutions, content, and experiences in the beverage alcohol industry.

“Because Auroch Digital knocked Mars Horizon out of the park, we knew Brewmaster was going to be something special. Our work with them over the last year and a half proved the case — the game is as close to the brewhouse that you can get without getting spent grain on your boots.”
— Kenny Gould

Part of Next Glass are 3 brands that we are working with and including in Brewmaster!

BeerAdvocate 

  • Founded in 1996, BeerAdvocate is the go-to beer resource for millions of consumers each month. The benchmark for beer reviews, one of the largest and oldest online beer communities, and host of world-class beer fests. 

  • BeerAdvocate will sponsor a competition, provide a themed job, and will have a glass for you to unlock and display in your brewing space. 

Hop Culture 

  • Hop Culture was started to provide independent craft beer journalism and help shine a spotlight on local craftsmen. Born as an online magazine, it has since grown to include festivals, brewery collaborations, and regular merch drops.  

    In Brewmaster, Hop Culture will also sponsor a competition and provide a job. You’ll be able to unlock Hop Culture glasses, using the logo and artwork, as well as framed posters (based on real life posters) to decorate your brewing space. 

Untappd 

  • Untappd is an app for beer enthusiasts to discover, share, rate, and explore nearby bars, breweries, and beers. Untappd also hosts festivals, promotions, and giveaways to help brands promote their beers. 

    What we are especially excited about in working with Untappd is that in the game it will provide you with ratings for you brewed “guest beers” with local breweries featured in the game. You’ll also be able to unlock an Untappd glass for your brewing space too! 

Our new Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator demo has ended. We released a new demo which was much bigger than anything players had been able to try before. Here’s all the things you were able to do:
