🎮 The Gist

You’re the Brewmaster. Each day you can:

• Create new beer recipes (IPA, Stout, Lager...) with custom ABV, IBU, cost & price
• Open and manage bars – each has capacity, reputation, daily customers
• Earn research points – unlock permanent perks (cheaper recipes, better rep, bigger bars)
• Face random events (Beer Fest, Health Scare, Celebrity Visit, etc.)
• Save / Load your empire at any time

Win condition: Reach $250,000 cash + 3 active bars with 75+ average reputation Or survive until day ~85 with solid finances – victory is sweet.

Lose condition: All bars bankrupt and debt below -$15,000 – game over, brewmaster.

🧪 Features

• 🍺 Dynamic recipe system – popularity and quality change over time
• 🏙️ Bar simulation – reputation, capacity, daily revenue, bankruptcy risk
• 🔬 4 research upgrades – Efficiency, Customer Experience, Marketing, Premium Scaling
• 🎲 6+ random events – good or bad, every day might bring a surprise
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts – Space = next day, 1/2/3/4 = quick navigation, H = help

🎯 Tips for Success

• Diversify your recipes – popular beers bring more customers
• Don't over-expand – new bars cost a lot upfront
• Watch reputation – a bar with <30 rep will bleed money
• Research early – efficiency & marketing pay off fast
