Oddworld: The Brewmaster Of Soulstorm Brewery 

I believe the brewmaster was so obsessed with the flavor of his product because he was addicted to it. How did he knows the flavor if he didn't taste it? he had fallen victim to his own product.

I loved how he actually cared about the product he was producing instead of caring just for he moola

Just a thought but maybe hes turned green is because hes the only gluccon to actually drink the brew. Could also be why hes obsessed with the flavor more so than the addictiveness

I feel like these images are mostly like those professionally made portraits where the Brewmaster had to clean himself up and dress well for it, so the first "sighting" of him maybe the stylised portrait of him, but then you later see him being the green stained mad man trying to make the best flavour

I loved the subtle attack at greedy disney wanting to own everything

I do actually like that he wears work closes. He cares enough for his craft he’s not going to trust the work to anyone but himself. I doubt most of the others even really know how their products are made anymore, they just have the lowly workers do it.

I think the marks are the side effects of him drinking his own product, would explain his pure obsession with flavor he's addicted and this can go two avenues for his motivation. 1. uses the flavor argument as an excuse to keep delaying the testing phase to keep getting his fix. 2. In his attempts to perfect the flavor he's become genuinely addicted and now wants to perfect it simply out of self indulgence rather then actually turning a profit.

I think he wants to become immortalised and knows money won't do that so he works for that this brew will be his immortal legacy.

I feel like the brewmaster being in charge right away is very logical for the other glukons. All they need to do is provide the brewmaster the supplies to keep him cooking the product and he never leaves the lab. Leaving them to skim whatever extra money they can off the top as long and the brewmaster can keep cooking he truly doesn't care.

there could be the theory that he got addicted to the brew himself and always try to make it better for himself

I always thought that the accent was German. It would still fit with the alcoholic theme (maybe more so since France specializes in fine wine's whilst the brew the Brewmaster makes is treated more like beer, which is what Germany specializes in), and would also allow for the stereotype of the "German mad scientist". Edit: With further listening, it does appear as though it's a french accent. My apologies.

Rather than French wine makers I think they're referring to beer makers from Belgium

The Brewmaster is easily one of the most unique characters on Oddworld and I think it's great that Oddworld Inhabitants decided to bring him back for Oddworld: Soulstorm. Hopefully he'll finally get ze flavour he desires!

He is actually in charge of Soul Storm Brewery throughout the entire story of the HD Reimaging.

Ah the Brewmaster, so dedicated to his art to the point where his job title is more important than his name, which we never find out. We can all learn something from Him. Also good job on making an almost 20 minute video on this character who had very little screen time and only a handful of lines

The color of his skin also looks more vibrant than the other glukkons.

What I always found interesting in the Brewmaster was how he was simply part of the game without being introduced. Through the game I felt like there was a solid foundation for Dripik, Phleg, and Aslik and you knew them well by the time their stories end. Then you go to Soulstorm Brewery, and the Brewmaster is just there in that one cutscene without any name, and he is the glukkon in the ending video. It always felt to me like there could have been more about him, but I look forward to him having a bigger role in Soulstorm!

I liked all of the aspects you went over. I've never thought so hard about the Brewmaster's demeanour but now you mention it, he is the most unique of the bunch.

Happy New Year to PupBenny & all Oddworld Fans ZIS WILL BE OUR FINEST YEAR EVER!!! (I hope)

I find it interesting than the brew master was actually more interested in his brew than getting a bunch of moolah, that his brew is both a deadly addictive poison for the mudokons and flammable.

I imagine the Junior Executives have a hard time running Soulstorm Brewery, with their boss secluded in his lab all the time.

I can imagine Vykkers running insane Asylums for psychological research purposes.

He is a Vykker among Glukkons.

Oh no! Disney is buying out oddworld to make put Abe into kingdom hearts as a villain of a frozen referencing level to kill him because this proves that Mickey and Glukkons work hand and hand!

You made so much discussion about a character I would’ve never thought would be so in depth, it really does tell me that you care about making videos in the odd world universe, you deserve more subscribers and views so hopefully when Soulstorm comes out, you can get that well deserved recognition.

It's so neat to see the bonkers good animation in the cutscenes. Considering the time they were made. Or how the game was made in around a year if I recall. Like the Brewmaster's mouth when he's talking. Someone had to animate all the weird ways it moves as he talks. It's a neat trick to get around the whole lack of mobility issue with this species. So the facial expressions are bonkers in a good way to make up for it. Otherwise it'd be a pretty boring cutscene just on an animation level.

The brewmaster reminds me to chefs with critics gastronomics the ones who cares the taste of the food ussing very higher prices of production and exotic flavours like the victorian high class food (polar bear in honey, elephant nose ect)

as an obsessive artist and writer I can relate to this

I think it's awesome that someone's actually making a video about this game I f****** love this game

Brewmaster: You might as well take out their bones!! Phleg: Am I a joke to you?

I just occured to me that the glukkon you control in Soulstorm wears green, so he is not a brewmaster glukkon but one of those execs under the the brewmaster from that cutscene.

Btw today I remembered about Louis Pasteur, a french chemistry famous to be the one who invented the pasteurization. He basically improved the flavour of beer and wine with his discovery. So I think this is why the Brewmaster have french accent and his obsession for the brew.

A game with a character in or escaped from an oddworld insane asylum sounds like it could be interesting

To be honest while I love the overall new look for Glukkons I do miss their big glowing eyes

"PUMP IT UUUUUUUP!!!" - The Brewmaster, Oddworld: Abe's Exodus

Is interesting this new concept of the brewmaster will be more like a alchemist of gastronomy and maybe having good conections with the vykkers

My new head Cannon to why Mickey Mouse was on the Brewmasters pocket watch in concept art: Disney this whole time was actually a branch of the Magog cartel, and underneath every Disneyland Park is an entire labor force of mudokons imported from Oddworld.

"We ad twice zeee Flavoaaahhh" always gets me 😆

Just the fact that he prefers cigarettes as aposed to cigars is the biggest detail i noticed about him when i first saw him

Im watching your oddworld videos everyday waiting for Soulstorm, thank you so much for doing it 💕🐑

I wonder how the Brewmaster will be in oddworld Soulstorm he was always was a interesting glukkon to me in exoddus

I love when you explain some character

ZE FINEST PRODUCT~

Extreme good story telling and interpretation of the brew master! You're amazing!! I love to listen to you 👂👍

How many other low-rank glukkons do we see? Is there glukkon lower management, glukkon site managers etc. It sounds like the hutts of Star Wars. Everyone knows about the big-name cartel boss hutts but they're not all big names. Someone's got to be the "working class" hutt who is "only" in charge of a local plant or doing accountancy.

might be a reference to how much of a perfectionist disney was irl.

"That's enough about my life" 😆

I never really saw the Brewmaster as being in charge. He always was more of the designer of the product. Everyone above him is in charge of their own departments but, he’s just the last figure head that needed to be removed to stop the machine from working. He’s only the main antagonist because he designed the product. Beyond that, I don’t think he had any real power to begin with. He just gets paid more because he invented the product. Going back to how his concept art had a Mickey watch. It was in a way symbolic for how Disney kept on after Walt died. It parallels how SoulStorm/RuptureFarms kept functioning without Molluck. Just because the big cheese is dead, a corporation will always move forward without their leader (whether it’s for the better or worse because money is all that matters in the end).

Keep up the great work pupbenny, it's been great learning all about Oddworld lore, your style is hilarious 😆

I'd love to know the Glukkons got to be such a superpower in the first place with no arms. They seem to be completely defenseless without their lackies and their tech.

I love how raw soulstorm’s glukons look

Happy new year Pupbenny! Nicely brewed video for 2021! You do some great work!😀👍

I have a theory that the brewmaster is so obsessed with his work because the effects of it like the modokns like it reverses your character traits because who do you thinks taste testing it

these types of videos are great!

We can say that Soul Storm has given us Twice the Flavor when it came out 🍷

i hope that his voice will be the same in soulstorm, because that's one thing that makes him unique.... the high and scary voice. And as you said, he looks like his voice will be deeper while being more calm than before. with that out of the way, he is easily my favorite glukkon

The brewmaster is a text book INTP. Awesome.

Happy New Year PupBenny Oddworld Soulstorm this is it!!!!

My dad actually had that Micky mouse watch for years

"Working in the dark on an obsession, that's enough about my life...." laughed so hard

Ah finaly a channel that talks about the Lore of Oddworld :) Here, have my sub

I guess that the death of the original brewmaster could be made serious if the delivery of the line were just sadder.

Well made. Thumbs up

And that's why 12:30>12:37 we love you. Happy new year dude.

A more relevant note would be the comparison to Stalin's work camp. That is what they are doing after all.

love his german accent

I could say the gluccons under mulac were afraid of being blamed for molac as a scapegoat so brewmaster was sacrificial

and he just perfected ze Flavair 🤣

This was interesting

I imagine they could still go the obsession rout from a different angle, instead of him directly involved in the creation process they could have him obsessing over every small bit of information from the chemical structure to the consistency trying to get it perfect in a more laboratory setting.

"Except the PE teacher" XD brilliant

12:31 bro you delivered that joke with such class I straight up bursted out laughing.

Pretty sure he's addicted to his own brew

The Brew Master still has a pocket watch though.

Perhaps his obsession with his craft is a prelude to ideas the Vykers would get later on.

Are very excited Modo lands

Maybe he gets a bonus to his pay when the product is more effective

Happy new years, hope we’re able to chat soon!

I'm not sure I agree with the whole Molluck used be in charge and chain of command analysis here, you kinda have to remember that there are a lot of different places covered in exoddus the first half (disc) covers Necrum mines (and the Scrab and Pyramite area's but that's not important) which is connected to Feeco depot Feeco onwards is covered in the second half (disk). Feeco as suggested by the name serves as a hub or shipping centre between Rupture farms, Necrum mines, Bonewerkz, Barracks, Vykkers labs and Soulstorm brewery. Those are all separate places it's not shown very well but as I understand it when you enter the doorways you are travelling on a train to these places which are more likely to be separate businesses under the magog cartel. The reason they are conferring with VP Aslik in that one cutscene is because he is in charge of Feeco and ultimately has the final say on the comings and goings, he has to deal with a big problem they can't just shut down the trains because that would cripple every business connected to Feeco but he can temporarily restrict travel to and from the brewery because it's ONE route of many and make it utterly impossible for Abe to get to Soulstorm brewery which he guesses (apparently correctly bit of a deus ex if you think about it) is Abe's target. (It's also likely this is the opportunity Aslik spoke of aside from taking over restricting shipping would artificially reduce supply for a product that is high in demand and increase it's value a parallel that has occurred many times IRL most recently RTX30xx for example) So aside from professional courtesy and/or profitable partnership I don't believe any of the head glukkons have any kind of shared leadership or intertwined chain of command it would make far more sense that some other member of the magog cartel would take over, also those other 3 that you see in that cutscene are discussing the collapses of multiple businesses they are likely invested in or own stock in (which abe's of course responsible for) and around them are scrolling screens showing numbers (all red) this is more than likely intended to be a stock exchange type area further enforced by the slig who is telling whoever is on the other end of the phone to sell, They are speculating over the massive loss of stock value abe has just dropped in their lap. Aside from giving Abe the idea to go after the boiler they are serving to convey the fact that what Abe is doing is having massive repercussions further up the hierarchical chain something Lorne Lanning has spoken about in the game awards expo presentation.

7:54 Maybe the Glukkons made "Mouse Bites"?

Wow, before 4 hours I searched if there is a video about the brewmaster and then here we go there's the video

I wonder about something: the Exoddus ending shows the Mudokons having all escaped soulstorm brewery and Necromines being together and Abe says that they ''use their skills to build something new''. I wonder does that imply that they shall use the technology they learnt from the Glukkons and thus become more ''industrialised'' in the future??

I see a lot of myself in the Brew master.....and that's scary AF!

What about his skin colour is green like the brew because he actually taste it? And because the brew is addictive he's so addicted to be obsessed with making the perfect brew.

Sou fã ansioso para. Comprar amo oddword!!!

The new brew master is different but he keeps his unique oppsesion with his brew pleas do a video on him

And then we all truly find out the reason for his work on the brew in Soulstorm. A way to curb any uprisings from the mudokons

U have great voice and eye for detail, expand

I dont know if you know the youtuber Jim Sterling Pupbenny but i get the feeling hes going to be voicing this character.

We haven't seen him animated yet, we only have his appearance in Abe's Exoddus to go on but he was my favorite Glukkon for some reason, even if he was just mainly portrayed as "French".

Well...we now know why he was so obsessed with the Brew. Play SOULSTORM a d figure it out!

Life goals bra

happy new year!

What if his watch is like a badge, or a way to show that he knows time instead of displaying the time for him to read. It makes the Mickey reference a bit more symbolic... corporate time contracts and mandates... perpetual time crunch.

Oh so Soulstorm is like a retelling of Exoddus? I was confused about that.

He was quite out there but in a good way

new brewmaster is sorta the same I mean he is set on his brew but he is less focused on the flavour and more guaranteed on its addiction so mudokons are dependent on it, how it maximises their performance (funny how this basically means that abe is jacked all the time) and side effects of death within 48 hours without it. I think the other thing is how sure of himself he is and how that leads to paranoia. Like he is so sure that mudokons could never break his formula's addiction to the point where he says its mullocks doing and its an entire conspiracy against him.

Ah yes. My Job.

ahh the perfect crazy german scientist

@13:05 “Quite nice for a glukkon?” Eee cor the brewmaster is not nice *chortles* even at first glance felt a bad essence and felt bloody gutted and mortified when got bad ending by accident as fluff brain me at the time didn’t take note properly at the brew bottles hinting secrets but 100% ending second play through🍾
