Homebrewers
Two hobbies make for a joyful brew

Homebrewers are a community of artisan spirit crafters, built on competition and experimentation, but also a mug full of comradery. Homebrewers, the board game, has managed to represent the spirit of this community without spilling a drop.
It has a healthy dose of competition as players are brewing stouts, ales, porters and IPAs to climb up the prestige rankings, collecting rewards and victory points along the way. Yet, there is also the spirit of sharing and helping, as players also get to exchange dice to get the most out of their actions each turn. Brewing is at the heart of everything the players do, whether that’s through keeping their equipment clean and ready, or by throwing a mad mixture of sweet, savoury and fruity flavours into a still to see what happens.
