building breweries

[LongVin]

Well I had the game for a long time now but only noticed this now when you reach tech level 3 in infrastructure it says you can building breweries so i decided to build some I went to a province where I didn't have any manufactury built but when I selected the build option there was no brewery option just: Fine arts, Naval Equipment, Weaponary, and goods manufacturer.

And if the build option is hidden somewhere in town I can't find it.


Now the question is, is there a way to build breweries in game? or were they renamed to refinery which gives bonuses in Wine producing provinces(this is the only thing I can come up with me.)

Either you have a strangely bugged game, or the fifth choice should be Refinery - which is the same as Brewery.

 

[LongVin]

ah ok thanks. and i just noticed i left out refinery on that list.

Yes -- the little tech pop-up info window calls them breweries, but they mean refineries. A bit odd -- you'd want breweries in grain provinces, rathern than wine ones. Which is, perhaps, why they changed the name.

In the game the terms are interchangable.

Breweries would be nice, they'd make alot of provinces more valuable.

 

[LongVin]

breweries would make sense.

its funny though I had the game for over 6 months and I just noticed that now because I transferred my CK game over and decided to check out what techs I start with and I noticed there was no build brewery option.

Not really. Beer was mostly a local product, not something traded on long distances, nor something akin to a primary product. And most EU2 grain provinces are not renowned for their beers (look at Belgium's EU2 provinces : cloth and iron).

AFAIK, the great expansion of the production of beer dates from the XIXth century.

OTOH, wine was a product traded on long distances, and entire regions are famous for their wine. Just look at all the EU2 wine provinces : they're all in regions where you'll find great wines, and many vintages and wine-growing activity.

Wine is a trade good. Beer and cider are local produced and consumed goods.

All of which may be true, but you don't "refine" wine.

I suppose they didn't want to call it a winery, though.

In fact, you refine... sugar. And that's the other trade good giving a refinery it's full income bonus.

And after checking, in french, one of the translations of refine is "affiner", and I've seen it used when speaking of wine. So, you do refine wine.

anyhow, for many, drinking wine is refine. :cheers:
