TapBrew is an idle brewing game built for people who love beer and patient simulation. No flashy ads. No pay-to-win. Just a clean, deep tycoon experience: brew authentic recipes, manage parallel fermenters across six real stages, and grow from a single home garage into a full production hall. ▸ AUTHENTIC BREWING PIPELINE Six real stages — mashing, boiling, cooling, fermenting, conditioning, bottling. Every recipe needs water, malt, hops, and yeast. Hops and yeast spoil if you take too long, so timing matters. ▸ FOUR GARAGE TIERS Start with one fermenter in a home garage. Upgrade to a brewing shed, a microbrewery, and finally a full production hall with twelve concurrent fermenters. Sale prices scale up to 4×. ▸ FOUR RECIPES Pilsener, Porter, IPA and Imperial Stout. Unlock as you scale up. Each recipe has its own ingredient list, yield and lifetime revenue tracking. ▸ IDLE-FRIENDLY Batches advance while the app is closed. Welcome-back recap shows what finished while you were away. Optional local notifications when a batch is ready to bottle. ▸ PRESTIGE AND REPUTATION Master the late game, prestige, and bank permanent reputation points that multiply every future brew. Soft reset keeps the loop fresh. ▸ MADE FOR EVERYONE Fully localized in 19 languages. Four currencies. Full haptic and sound control. Settings → Export save lets you back up to clipboard or share preferences with a friend. ▸ YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE No advertising SDKs. No tracking. Your save lives on your phone by default. Optional anonymous cloud sync. Privacy by design. Published by Evnola OÖ. Privacy: tapbrew.evnola.com/privacy-policy
