About this app

Brew craft beer, learn new recipes, plot your takeover & get rich! Become a brewmaster tycoon.

Idle Brewery is the perfect game for beer enthusiasts and incremental fans with more depth than a typical idle game.

Step into the shoes of a master beer brewer. Start with a small microbrewery and work your way up to the top of the industry as you build your empire from the ground up.

Upgrade your facilities as demand for your beer increases. Spend your money to buy new equipment, run marketing campaigns, and manage other facets of your business. Strategize to outsmart big beer corporations through targeted investments, promotion, and distribution.

Grow your brewery and unlock permanent HQ upgrades by selling your successful brewery and reinvesting in a larger one. Unlock late-game experiments like robot bartenders, brewers guild membership, flagship beer selection, and more.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Purchases the store lists

 What this app sells

From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

This list is cut off. Apple shows at most 10 in-app purchases, and this app is at the limit — so it very likely sells more than we can see.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
