I made beer with monks and got called "your Maltiness" in this remarkably chill ale-brewing sim, and you can too with its free Steam Next Fest demo

Ale Abbey.

My favorite part of the Steam Next Fest demo for Ale Abbey is when people call me "your Maltiness", and that's saying a lot, because the whole demo is a lot of fun.

Ale Abbey is an upcoming tycoon game with a twist: you're in charge of a brewery run by Catholic monks. When you arrive at your monastery, you're met by its bishop, who tasks you with expanding "our holy brewing mission". Specifically, he wants you to help him build a thriving brewery that'll make your monastery the most popular around. Fortunately, he walks you through that process step-by-step through a number of tutorials, starting with setting up a desk and formulating your first ale recipe.
