Beer & Bread - How to Play
Beer & Bread is a multi-use card game for two players. Its clever structure of alternating rounds puts a fascinating twist on player interaction, card drafting, and resource management.
Founded on the fruitful lands of an erstwhile monastery, two villages have held up the dual tradition of brewing beer and baking bread. While sharing fields and resources, they still find pride in their friendly rivalry of besting each other’s produce.

Lowest coins determines the final score? That’s pretty cool!
Thanks for the tutorial. I have the game ordered and waiting for it to arrive. This tutorial will be most helpful to get me started with actual game play. So glad to see a specifically designed 2 player resource management/card drafting game. The game mechanics look very interesting.
Great video. Only one remark: 3:29 You explain how to place subsequent harvest cards "creating a harvest column". Yes, correct, but there is no explanation about what goods you harvest from the harvest column. In this case, the third card played shows a water and a wheat. The harvest column means you collect as many tokens as in the columns of the last played card, hence all water and all wheat, hence you harvest 2 water and 3 wheat. This is one of the most important features of this game. So it is a pity that this is not explained properly.

I agree. It's an important part of the game, and it is a little fiddly, so it would have been a good addition to the "How to Play," video. Before You Play does a great job of explaining and playing this game for reference. 😊

That was my exact thought too. The rules were kind of vague and most videos don't describe how the harvest happens with multiple cards being played. A missed opportunity on their part in the video.

I don't get your answers about the harvest being vague or fiddly. I own the Deep Print English version of the game. The only difference between my printed rulebook and the version from Capstone Games on their website is the dark blue bar at the bottom of page 12 (Pegasus info is replaced with Capstone Games info). Page 5 shows an excellent example of how to harvest the resources when playing a 3rd card to the column. I had no problem with that, it is very clear. And my native language isn't English, but Dutch.

3:35 Ah ok, took me a second to understand but now I see. In that example, you don't harvest the rye nor the barley because they don't appear on the last played card. But you harvest any matching resource (and go up in the column to see if you get any more of that type of resource) from the last played card. Indeed a VERY important missed point. Thanks! :)
Played this at 85% so I can actually process the rules being explained. It isn't really a game summary, it's the actual rules being explained and would benefit from not being so fast. Otherwise very well done!
Why is it LOWEST coins produced wins? I don’t understand the thematic intent - makes it hard to explain to others - please explain! Thanks!

Mechanically, this forces players to make both beer and bread. Otherwise, you could just rush bread and score the highest you can. It creates a balancing act for the players rather than a linear path to victory. Thematically, I suppose you could say the game is called Beer AND Bread, not Beer OR Bread.

And it's Reiner Knizia's "lowest-score-in-a-category is your total score" rule from Tigris and Euphrates come back again :) @@iKalebG
