Beer Tycoon

A business management game based around a beer brewery. The idea is to start small with a micro-brewery in either the UK, Germany or Belgium and work your way up to a industrial sized brewery. The game simulates four major stages of beer production; conception, production, marketing and distribution. To achieve this, the game allows for control over a number of areas including staffing, equipment, buildings and recipes. As with most Tycoon games, there is an emphasis on the financial aspect of things, and the recipe needs to be balanced between appealing to customers and being cheap enough to make profit. Consideration also needs to be given to the running costs of staff and facilities in order to meet demand without having too much excess.
