Beer Run Walkthrough and Objectives

Main Objectives

  1. Talk to Sarah Filburn
  2. Sabotage the latest batch of Henry's Beer
  3. Wait One Day for Henry Filburn's Beer to Brew
  4. See Reaction to Henry Filburn's Latest Beer
  5. Talk to Sarah Filburn

1. Talk to Sarah Filburn

Starfield - Talk to Sarah Filburn

Speak to Sarah Filburn who can be found inside Weston Filburn's House in Akila City. She'll ask you to tamper with Henry's latest batch of beer.

2. Sabotage the Latest Batch of Henry's Beer

Starfield - Access the Filburn Agricultural Brewing Computer

Leave Sarah's house, go down the stairs to find the factory just around the corner, and access the Filburn Agricultural Brewing Computer near the large circular metal containers.

Here you'll be given three options to sabotage the latest batch of Henry's beer:

  • Increase temperature by 20°C
  • Increase IBU to 160
  • Increase alcohol content.

Each choice will affect how the customers and patrons would react to the quality of Henry's beer the following day.

Inform Henry Filburn of Sarah's Plans (Optional)

You can also tell Henry Filburn of Sarah's plans to sabotage his beer. Go to Henry's house next door (to the right of Sarah's house) and inform him of the scheme—doing this will end the quest immediately!

3. Wait One Day for Henry Filburn's Beer to Brew

Starfield - Wait 24 Hours Before Going to the Inn

After choosing one of the sabotage choices on the computer, you'll have to wait for 24 hours or one whole day in-game. You can skip time by sleeping on beds or sitting on chairs.

How to Wait and Skip Time

4. See Reaction to Henry Filburn's Latest Beer

Starfield - Henry

Go inside the Stoneroot Inn and look for an NPC named Kate Foley. You'll overhear her reaction on the quality of Henry's beer with Eloise Reed. The reaction will depend on what option you chose earlier on the computer.

5. Talk to Sarah Filburn

Starfield - Inform Sarah Filburn of the Sabotage Results

Return to Weston Filburn's House and talk to Sarah about the outcome of Henry's beer. She'll pretend to be shocked and that she doesn't know anything about it. She will then reward you with 55 EXP and some Credits for “delivering the terrible news” to her.

Beer Run Choice Guide

Should You Sabotage Henry Filburn's Beer?

Choice Outcome
Increase temperature by 20°C. Patrons will stop ordering Henry's Beer. Credit reward will be 2500 Credits.
Increase IBU to 160. Henry's Beer will be taken off the menu. Credit reward will be 2500 Credits.
Increase alcohol content. Patrons will buy more of Henry's Beer. No Credit reward will be given.
Tell Henry Filburn "Sarah wants to sabotage your beer." Patrons will buy more of Henry's Beer. Credit reward will be 2900 Credits.

Choose According to Your Character's Personality

The morally good choice would be to sabotage the beer, to have the brothers focus on Intelliwheat production and research. However, Beer is a common recreational drink among the citizens of Akila, and Henry is passionate about this hobby, so keeping the beer also has its positives.

The credit reward difference between the choices is also not significantly large, so it ultimately depends on your character's morals.
