Manor Lords - How to Use Brewery Extensions
The Brewery is one of the Burgage buildings available in Manor Lords. Learn what the Brewery does, how to build and upgrade the Brewery, how to fix Brewery not making ale, and tips on how to use the Brewery effectively here!

How to Use Brewery Extension

Harvest Barley to Produce Malt, Then Turn It Into Ale in Brewery Extension

You will need to harvest Barley crop from your Fields and store it into your Farmhouse. From there, build a nearby Malthouse to convert your Barley into Malt.

Your Brewery Extensions from your Level 2 Burgage Plots will then turn your Malt into Ale, which can help supply your established Tavern in your settlement with its needed Ale supply.

How to Make Ale (Step-by-Step)

Produce a Consistent Supply of Ale for Taverns

Your Brewery Extensions can help play a great part in helping your Taverns generate Ale for your settlement and prevent Lack of Entertainment to prompt in your game.

Additionally, Taverns can help level up your Burgage Plots to Level 3, which can help you acquire a Development Point and increase the passive income of Regional Wealth from your Burgage Plots.

Lack of Entertainment Explained

How to Fix Brewery Not Making Ale

Build Malthouse and Brewery Extensions Nearby Each Other

Brewery not making Ale can be resolved by minimizing the distance between the Malthouse and your Brewery Extensions.

This will help the transportation of Malt to be much quicker, and streamline the process of Ale production.
