History
With no game development experience, two normal guys Arik Zurabian and Edo Brenes spent most of their free time during almost two years creating a hand drawn point-and-click adventure game about a simple middle aged man looking for a pilsner in a world of craft beer loving hipsters. As fate would have it, Arik (Norway) would meet Edo (Costa Rica) through the vast cables and airwaves of the Internet; and after a few conversations and a failed crowdfunding campaign they decided to go on with the game as a personal project. From a great premise, the world surrounding the main character began to grow; it expanded so much that a project that was supposed to be done in a few short months had no possible solution other than for it to be worked on for two long years. The result, after countless hours of work, is an Opera Prima for these 2 creators that took an idea and made it come true. Entrepreneurs? Or just two random naive guys with love for what they were making, believing that this was something the world wanted to have? Either way, "Dude, Where Is my Beer?" was made with dedication and hardship, and the creators are very pleased with the result and as they both say: This is something we wanted to play, so we did it.

84/100 I didn't realize I'd really enjoy a game about beer until I got Dude, Where Is My Beer? played and got lost in the humor and the really creative setting. I'm dealing with a really classic adventure game that maybe not everyone can cope with today, but fans of the very classic games will definitely get their money's worth.

Point Click Pundit
All in all, “Dude, Where Is My Beer?” is a solid and hilarious old-school adventure game that can keep you company for a while, depending on how quickly you can solve the puzzles, that is.

You’ll be laughing like I did about some of the outrageous names that they have for beers. Like the Albanian Dry-Hopped Lavish Trappist Apricot IPA or a PPA. Like an India Pale Ale, but a Pakistani Pale Ale.
