About this game

Beer Run is a platform game for the Apple II, developed by Mark Turmell and published by Sirius Software. Released on July 31, 1981, it is a tie-in with the Olympia beer company and features the Artesians from its contemporary commercials.

Players begin at the bottom of the Sirius building and climb upward using ladders and occasional elevators. After reaching the top, a blimp carries them to the Olympia brewery. Green guzzlers and bouncers must be avoided, while points can be earned by catching beer cans thrown by the Artesians. Kegs and elevators provide additional beer.
