How to get all Brewing (Alcohol) recipes in Wartales The Tavern Opens

While the turn-based battle and exploration may drive tactical RPG Wartales, there is also much you can achieve with crafting. If you’ve made a companion a Brewer in Wartales: The Tavern Opens, read on to find out how to get all the brewing recipes you need. 

Where to find Brewing recipes in Wartales The Tavern Opens

When you first start in the Brewing profession in Wartales: The Tavern Opens, you will only have two alcohol recipes available in your Compendium: Cider and Brandy. These are given to you for free and don’t require a Knowledge Point. Once you have the tavern update, you can find your current list of alcohol recipes in the Brewing tab in the Compendium.

Brewing recipes (Knowledge-based)

You can learn a total of five Brewing recipes simply by making new alcohol types with a Brewer when you camp overnight (once you have a Brewing Vat that can be made by a Tinkerer at camp). Make Cider or Brandy to unlock Beer, Beer to unlock Wine, and wine to unlock Mead. You will need to spend 1 Knowledge Point in the Brewing Vat section of the Compendium to open these three new recipes.

Brewing recipes (Recipe-based)

All of the other alcohol types you can create need a recipe to unlock them. These can only be unlocked by downloading the Wartales: The Tavern Opens DLC and opening your tavern. You then need to upgrade your tavern until you unlock the Rival Taverns menu and then steal the recipes through infiltration. (Check out my full Rival Taverns infiltration guide for everything you need to know about infiltration and stealing recipes.)

Each rival tavern has one Brewing recipe that’s available to steal. This does not affect Reputation. Once stolen, it will be available both in your tavern and in the camp for brewing. You do not need to spend a Knowledge Point to begin using them as they will immediately become available in your Compendium.
