- There is some kind of glitch where the wholesale doesn't always payout

**Most requested features**

- More efficient
- Can you make the result of selling your brewery more efficient when starting a new one. For example, I brew beer faster or starting prices increase with each restart.

### 4/5 — Home Brew

*2026-07-30, version 1.2.160*

This is a great game for those who enjoy a good brew!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-06-14, version 1.2.160*

No forced ads and paying is completely optional. The best idle game I’ve ever played he doesn’t even need to buy bot comments to get 5 stars.

### 5/5 — The Best Game

*2026-06-04*

This is brilliantly thought out game that is incredibly fun to play. Extremely difficult to fault - not pay to play, no ads, can be played offline and doesn’t get boring or repetitive. No paywalls but bought in game to support the dev who has done a fantastic job. Can’t recommend the game more, the best idle game I’ve played by far.

Work in the industry and love the collab addition. Would love an update in the future and more manual beer / recipe building. 

10/10 definitely download

### 5/5 — Cool little game

Small idle game with no intrusive ads and no major pay to win mechanic. Definitely worth a try!

### 5/5 — Engaging

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.160*

Finally an idle game that does not require money for progress. I bout a pack anyway to support. I’ve been glued since I downloaded. Great job one man shop!!!

### 5/5 — Updates?

*2026-05-22, version 1.2.160*

This game is fun and all I play right now. Looking to see when there will be and update out. Need to put in like 3 to 5 day events. Would make the game more interesting.

### 5/5 — Beer

*2026-04-04*

Fun and also educational game. For beer lover.

### 5/5 — Great game built for players. Not an ad farm!

*2026-04-04*

Great game built by a solo developer. The amount of playable content goes deep and it’s not an ad farm like most games I find. Well done. Seriously.

### 5/5 — Fun little game.

*2026-03-26*

I have really enjoyed this game.  There are no ads that pop up and take you out of what you are doing, and there is plenty to manage without getting lost in the weeds.

First game I have actually sought out and gone to watch a couple ads to support the developer.  Respect for letting us just enjoy the game.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-03-24, version 1.2.160*

Dope idle game; my favorite in a while

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Aggravating

*2026-03-28, version 1.2.160*

I downloaded this game just started to play it. Next thing you know my tank is on fire and I can’t put it out. No way for me to put it out. I’ve upgraded a lot of stuff even the water pipes everything and can’t put it out. I’m done with it. This is why gaming is not for me because you developers have to put crazy stuff in these games. I’m done.

### 1/5 — Great game until

*2025-02-05, version 1.2.127*

Paid to remove adds, game glitched out on a screen I couldn’t exit uninstalled and reinstalled app no save data or purchases saved

### 1/5 — Pay to play trash

*2023-05-01, version 1.1.0*

Just as the title says of this comment…

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry to hear that was your experience. I spent a long time building Idle Brewery by myself, and always with the player in mind. To that end: There are no forced-ads, no gameplay is locked behind a paywall, and all players can reach the end game without purchasing anything.
 
While there are optional purchases and ads, these are by no means required to play and progress.

### 2/5 — No ads

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.160*

I bought the no ads upgrade and I still have ads and when I click on the button to see if I’ve purchased it the game freezes and it spins.

### 2/5 — Started well but buggy

*2026-03-02*

It’s a solid idle game with a lot to draw you in but most of the time when you try to get a benefit and it goes to play an advert … screen goes black and I need to reboot the phone to play again … pointless

**Developer response:** Hi - This is the first time I've heard of this happening. Mind reaching out to me with more details at contact@tinygiganticgames.com so I can try and troubleshoot the issue? Thank you!

### 3/5 — Battery Drain!

*2026-06-14, version 1.2.160*

I enjoy the game, but playing it for a short time massively drains my battery.

### 3/5 — In app purchases broken

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.157*

In app purchases are broken

### 3/5 — Great game, but progress halted because game froze permanently.

*2025-11-22, version 1.2.151*

All progress has come to a halt because after I prestiged, the beer tanks stopped filling. Not quite sure why and reseting the app doesn’t work either.

### 3/5 — Broken

*2025-03-22, version 1.2.133*

If you get too far in the game the beers cease to brew completely. Forcing you to restart. Not a single beer will brew past a certain point

### 3/5 — Fun well made but

*2024-12-19, version 1.2.127*

There is some kind of glitch where the wholesale doesn’t always payout
