I have been playing for a couple of weeks, but I am still trying to figure out all of the nuances of the game. I have been able to manufacture several bottles of beer, but have yet to decide the best distribution channel. Since the extra investment in higher quality ingredients is more that the income on the beer created from them, I haven't made too many bottles above Normal. I look forward to seeing future posts from you as you learn the ropes of this game to see what tips and trick you learn along the way.
