Great Escapists: The Brewer

The year is 1921. Prohibition has taken hold across the Atlantic, and the demand for fine spirits has never been higher. Fortunes are being made in the shadows… and the Brooksfield operation is ready to expand.

The Brewer—Derek Brooksfield—has already made his fortune as a highly successful whiskey distiller. But word from his associates across the pond speaks of a growing demand for gin… and he intends to meet it.

But the Brewer doesn’t trust just anyone.

A former soldier of the Great War, he has no patience left for time-wasters. Too many candidates have stood where you stand now—each claiming they could craft something special, only to produce gin not worthy of his name. He won’t tolerate it again.

Your apprenticeship begins inside a canvas tent, under the guidance of his assistant. Here, you’ll uncover the correct blend of botanicals and decode the symbols that bind the recipe together. Pay attention—once you step beyond the canvas, there are no second chances.

Because beyond it, the real test begins.

You’ll come face to face with the Brewer himself—sharp-witted, unpredictable, and watching for the slightest mistake. Follow the symbols. Mix the ingredients. Prove your worth.

Succeed… and earn your place in the business.

Fail… and you’ll spend the rest of your days working his distillery, unpaid and forgotten.
