This indie ‘adventure flight’ game dares to ask, ‘What if Crimson Skies was about making beer-‘-

The Brew Barons is a game built on an idea that is simultaneously very odd and so perfectly aimed at my specific interests that as soon as I saw the first trailer, I had to know more. It’s a mashup of old-timey Crimson Skies-style aeroplanes and beer, and as weird as that sounds, it actually comes together pretty well.

In a recent interview discussing VR’s effects on humanity as a whole, it seems there’s something dark lurking in the back of his mind.
