Brew Crafters: Marketing Basics

About this expansion

Brew Crafters: Marketing Basics is a four-card mini-expansion for 2–5 players, designed for games lasting about 90 minutes. Released in 2014, it adds one worker and three alternative recipes to the Brew Crafters experience.

The expansion includes the Marketing Specialist worker, along with three recipes: Everyone’s Pale Ale, Starling’s Irish Dry, and Point Placid Oak Aged Porter. These cards offer a compact way to bring new brewing options into the game while keeping the focus on the core experience.

• 1 Marketing Specialist worker
• 3 replacement recipes
• Everyone’s Pale Ale
• Starling’s Irish Dry
• Point Placid Oak Aged Porter

Marketing Basics is used by substituting its three recipes for the three basic recipes in the main game. The normal beer batch tokens from those basic recipes should still be used, making the expansion easy to integrate without adding a separate token set.

During scoring, remember that batches of Irish Dry Stout and Everyone’s Pale Ale count as 3 Rep. This scoring detail gives the replacement recipes a distinct place in the game and is an important rule to keep in mind when using the mini-expansion.

Originally offered as a last-minute thank-you to Kickstarter backers, Brew Crafters: Marketing Basics was noted as not being immediately available for retail sale with the base game. Its small card count makes it a focused promotional addition for players looking to expand their recipe choices.
