Best spots to skillup brewing
 

I'm looking at maxing out my brewing on my wizard. Currently I'm at 180. This basically requires hundreds of Minotaur Hero's Brew combines. I've used East Freeport and Neriak Commons for skilling previously, but as I don't have faction for either of these places I'm looking for another.

I am thinking maybe Paineel? After I faction in Warrens.

In short, I need a brew barrel near a vendor for malt and yeast (at least in the same zone would be nice). The other items are fairly common (cask, short beer, water).

Rivervale

It's been awhile, but I think I made a lot of brews in Highpass and Firiona Vie.

Rivervale's rogue guild has a vendor next to a brew barrel on the 1st floor. :o

Mino brew ingredients are all storebought...Rivervale's probably your best bet. Specifically the second floor of the Fool's Gold.

I did my Minos to GM in Halas on live and Neriak here on P99.

I did halas.

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe Short Beer is sold in Rivervale, which you'll need a lot of. I just recently did a couple batches of Mino in Firiona Vie. On the map below, the baker's hut (#1) provides the Water Flasks, and all other ingredients as well as a brew barrel are at the tavern (#5): http://www.allakabor.com/eqatlas/firionaviedocks.html

P.S. check out my blog norrathbrewing.com :D

Akanon vendors & barrels are a few steps away from each other, and it's almost always vacant. Might be annoying for tall races, but could always buy a shrink potion.

So you found the souvenir mugs, eh...

Have you gotten the Fool's Gold Stein or the Stein that drops off the halfling swashbuckler that can be found roaming FV? Brewed boot beer or armadillo simmer ale yet?
