In the medievalcolony sim,Norland, peasants and lords alike need an alcoholic drink every few days in order to fulfill the Rest requirement. If these drinks aren’t available due to scarcity or cost, then moods will go down leading to further consequences.
There are three types of alcohol inNorland, these beingFlavorful Ale,Beer, andMoonshine. All citizens prefer the drinks in that order and will always purchase and drink the best if it is available. Drinking Flavorful Ale grants increased mood, whereas Moonshine decreases mood. All alcohol inNorlandis made in the Brewery, and it is sold to peasants at the Tavern. Lords, on the other hand, take it for free from the Warehouse.

How To Make A Brewery & Tavern In Norland
Thankfully, no knowledge is required to build a Brewery or Tavern inNorland, so this is a fairly easy process. The Brewery can be found in the Production buildings, whereas the Tavern is found in the Service buildings.
As long as players have a lord assigned at the hall to issue building commands, both the Brewery and Tavern will go up fairly quickly. However, players should wait until they are ready to harvest Rutabaga, which is required to produce the most basic alcohol in the game, Moonshine.

For the Brewery to operate, players will need to have a manager assigned to instruct workers. They can also upgrade the Brewery to increase production.
Assign lords with higher management skills to increase the production of buildings such as the Brewery.
