About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to return to the world of Heaven & Ale with the Kegs & More expansion! If you already enjoy the base game, this addition will immerse you even deeper into the art of monastic beer brewing. Now, in addition to mastering the resources to produce that glorious beer, the monks have a new mission: fulfilling orders from local taverns. This means planning and foresight become even more crucial!
With Kegs & More, you'll need to manage not only ingredients but also collect barrels to store the brew and ensure the delivery mule is always well-fed with hay, ready to take the fresh beer to customers. This expansion introduces new elements that enrich the experience, maintaining the charm and depth that made Heaven & Ale a modern classic. It's an opportunity to refine your strategies, optimize production and deliveries, and feel the pressure (in a good way!) of expanding the monastery's business. If you thought you had mastered everything, think again! This expansion adds strategic layers without overcomplicating things, ensuring each game is a new challenge and a new opportunity to become the most renowned monk brewer.
