How to make Ale in Manor Lords
Ale in Manor Lords is made from Malt, which in turn is made from Barley. You can of course purchase Ale at aTrading Post, but to make your own Ale for your Tavern, you need to construct the follow buildings in order:
That’s a fair few steps, so let’s go over them in more detail below.
1. Farmhouse
2. Barley Farm
The next step is to construct a Farm next to your Farmhouse, making sure it is built over the highest possible Barley Fertility. The size of the Farm depends on your needs, but we’d recommend a starting Farm of around 1-1.5 Morgen (you’ll see how big that is once you start placing the corners of the Farm).
Once the Farm is placed down, select it and set the Crop Type to Barley. Don’t forget to also set at least one family working in the Farmhouse, or the Farm will remain fallow!
3. Malthouse
Again, remember to set a family working in the Malthouse!

4. Level 2 Burgage Plot (with Backyard Extension)
You’ll know if a Burgage Plot has a Backyard Extension slot because when you click on it, there will be a dropdown menu next to the Upgrade button where you can choose an extension. To build a new Plot with a Backyard Extension slot, look for an icon of a house with a hammer inside it when placing down the corners of the Plot.
5. Brewery Extension
Once you’ve upgraded your Burgage Plot to Level 2, you’ll have unlocked a range of new possible Backyard Extensions. One of these extensions is the Brewery, which is what you need to turn Malt into Ale. Construct the Brewery out of 5xRegional Wealthand 5x Planks, and be aware that doing this will turn the family living there into Artisans - meaning they’ll no longer be available for any other jobs in your settlement.
6. Tavern
Almost there! The final step in the process is to construct a Tavern, where your citizens can actually drink the Ale you’ve worked so long and hard to create. The Tavern is found in the Residential tab of the build menu, and costs 5x Timber to construct. Once it’s build, set a family working in the Tavern, and voila! YourPopulationis now at least partially drunkards!
