🐸 HOW TO PLAY
Develop your brewery. Each player starts with a small home brewery and, turn after turn, transforms it into a large-scale industry, expanding their brewing options and increasing their brand's prestige.
Assign workers and trucks. Each turn, you can choose to place one of your workers or the truck, performing actions ranging from producing new varieties of beer to delivering them for victory points.
Invest in innovation. As the game progresses, you can improve production processes with new technologies like refrigeration units or beer filters, increasing efficiency and yields.
Manage turn order and action cards. Action cards provide extra opportunities and unexpected situations to exploit at the right time, while managing the turn order becomes crucial to anticipating your opponents' key moves.
Race to 20 points. The game continues until one player reaches 20 victory points, at which point the final round begins, and the brewmaster with the highest score is crowned the winner.

An intense management game, to be enjoyed sip after sip… or move after move
A game for brewery strategists, where every action has an industrial aftertaste
Bier Pioniere – Brew strategy, brew victory
Germany, 1850. The air smells of malt and revolution.
In Bier Pioniere , you are not just a master brewer: you are an industrial-age entrepreneur , ready to transform your small craft brewery into a brewing giant.
But it takes ingenuity, innovative technologies , well-placed workers and the ability to ride an expanding market… all this while the competition breathes down your neck with hops and ambition.
Build your beer empire, one shift at a time
Created by Thomas Spitzer , Bier Pioniere is a strategic board game for 2-4 players , with a strong economic and management focus.
Set during the German Industrial Revolution, the game puts you in charge of a nascent brewery: you will have to produce different beers, expand the plant, purchase advanced technologies such as filters or cold rooms, manage workers and deliveries, and improve the production chain.
Each turn requires tactical worker placement , hand management, and a constant eye for efficiency: getting bonus workers or playing cards at the right time can make all the difference.
Indirect interaction between players is high, especially in the management of action spaces and in the race towards 20 victory points, which trigger the final round.
Bier Pioniere is ideal for those looking for a strategic, deep and satisfying beer game , with a fluid structure and a theme that you feel… until the last drop.
We played it… and we got thirsty, for victory 🐸
This isn't your average beer-themed game. Bier Pioniere is a true management game with attributes that requires brainpower, calculation, and planning.
We appreciated it for its balance between long-term planning and tactical reaction , and for the satisfaction it gives when you manage to fit production, upgrades and deliveries efficiently .
There's nothing superfluous: every action counts, every turn is crucial. And when you outsmart your opponents thanks to a well-made choice... toast to your brewing genius.
