Play The Beer Distribution Game
The Beer Distribution Game was originally developed at MIT in the 1950s to illustrate how difficult it is to manage dynamic systems – in this case the dynamic system is a supply chain that delivers beer from a brewery to the end consumer. Play with our implementation of the Beer Distribution Game and learn about strategies to optimize the supply chain.

Further Reading:
- Play The Beer Distribution Game introduces the story behind the creation of our single-player version of the Beer Distribution Game.
- Play Our New Beer Distribution Game provides a brief tour of our new version that supports multiple players.
- Understanding The Beer Distribution Game provides an in-depth analysis of the Beer Distribution Game and of how to find the right ordering strategy.
- Simulating The Beer Distribution Game develops a stock and flow model of the Beer Distribution Game that can be used to analyze game dynamics.
- Training Artificial Intelligence to Play The Beer Distribution Game first introduces an Agent-based simulation of the Beer Distribution Game and then uses reinforcement learning to train the agents to play the game.
You can find the code for the simulation models and machine learning algorithms along with explanatory Jupyter notebooks on our GitHub repository.
