About the game
We love moonshin’. Now, you get to play a story-rich management game focused on crafting moonshine, brandy, whisky, and vodka. You’ll ferment, distill, then name your booze how you want it. You’ll run that business big. Smart, yet discreetly. Cause ain’t nothin’ illegal... ‘til you get caught!

I've encountered a few bugs but nothing that soft locks or breaks the process, typically I've found a work around. But over about 48...
