The Lost Brewery

A Medieval Monastery Mystery

A centuries-old monastery has brewed legendary ale since 1180. Quality has been declining for decades. The abbey's handwritten brewing ledgers were scanned and run through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert them to digital text — but the software mangled the old handwriting badly. You're a data historian hired by the Abbot to clean the garbled records, trace the quality decline, find who changed the recipe — and uncover why.
