About Moonshiner Simulator
Moonshiner Simulator puts you behind the still, letting you brew everything from basic moonshine to fine whiskey and liqueurs. The game stresses ingredient experimentation, rewarding players who discover distinct recipes.
Beyond the distillery, you manage a growing business: start with hand‑to‑hand sales, hire assistants, expand logistics, and upgrade facilities. Up to eight friends can join in co‑op to share the workload.
