Why switch

Why choose Idle Distiller?

Brewery artwork from the game: the first design, before it grows. Not a gameplay capture.

A new kind of food-and-drink business

No kitchens, no table service. Each business is a production line: a brewery, a whisky distillery, a winery, a tequila still. You raise its output, hit its customer milestones for a speed or profit bonus, and automate it so it keeps earning while the app is closed. The setting changes; the satisfaction of a well-run business does not.

Meet the people around your business

A corrupt mayor wants your business shut down, and the people around you take sides: Mike with his checklist, Ashley and Nick at the brewery, Maria and Luis on the tequila line, a reporter who is always taking notes. The story runs across 200+ seasons in comic-strip panels between the business decisions. It is the thing players mention most in reviews, alongside the events.

Grow one production line at a time

Pick the line that pays back fastest and push it to its next customer milestone. Automating a line asks for one of the crew at a set level, plus cash; after that it earns while you are away and you come back to reinvest. At season end you move to a new town with new lines to open, and your bottle caps, cards, character upgrades and renovations come with you.

What players say

I'm enjoying the game, the graphics, and the story. It's a fun little thing I can have going on the side while I work.
Jonathan H. · Google Play
I'm on Season 23 and this game still has my interest with the stories and events. For me, the stories change the dullness other idle games have had.
David C. · Google Play
The frequent side events are a great way to increase the longevity of the game because I focus on those instead of the main questline. The min-maxer in me can’t stay away from ensuring I run every brewery as efficiently as possible.

Our recommendation

Build a drinks business with a story of its own

Choose Idle Distiller Tycoon if you want another food-and-drink business to grow and a storyline to follow while it earns. The upgrade-and-automate loop will feel familiar from Foodventure Inc; the breweries, the 200+ seasons, the weekly events and the mayor are new.

Choose this for production and story, not for restaurant service. There are no staff to hire, no menus to set and no customers to seat; the business runs on production lines and the crew who automate them. It is rated 18+ on the App Store because of the alcohol theme.

FAQ

Does Idle Distiller have Foodventure's restaurant-management systems?
