How to make ale in Manor Lords

The process of making ale in Manor Lords is somewhat complicated. That's due to several resources and buildings that you need beforehand. These include barley, a Malthouse, a Brewery Extension, and a Tavern.

Fields: Barley

Go to the Construction -> Farming tab and select Field. Once you plop down a Field, get your workers to plant barley and wait for it to be harvested a few months later.

Note that you also have to build a Farmhouse, which requires 3x timber. Several families need to be assigned to the Farmhouse to ensure that there are enough workers tilling the soil and harvesting the crops. You can learn more about this concept in our farming/harvests guide.

You need to grow barley in your farmlands.

Farm building: Malthouse

Next, go to the Construction -> Industry tab and build a Malthouse. It requires 4x timber. When you're done, assign a family to the Malthouse so that they can turn barley into malt.

Burgage Plot: Brewery Extension

Apart from the above, you also need a Brewery Extension. Here's what you need to do:

Upgrade a Burgage Plot from level 1 to level 2. This requires several requirements, which we discuss in our town/housing upgrades guide.
Choose the Brewery Extension. This requires 5x planks and 5x Regional Wealth.
Ideally, the barley field, Malthouse, and Burgage Plot with the Brewery Extension should be near each other to shorten the travel time of workers.
This whole process allows you to make ale in Manor Lords.

The Brewery Extension turns malt into ale, which then gets served to your citizens.

Finally, the Tavern

Finally, go to the Construction -> Residential tab and build a Tavern (it costs 5x timber). With a surplus of ale, the Tavern should have plenty of beer to go around. Make sure that roads connect the Tavern to various Burgage Plots, as this is a requirement for your housing to reach level 3.

That's it: that's how you make ale in Manor Lords. If you're thinking about creating different types of goods, you might want to check our guides regarding clothing and food.
