Enhancing citizens' approval in Manor Lords is pivotal for the prosperity and harmony of your settlement. There are diverse strategies to elevate citizens' approval, such as constructing a church, reducing tax rates, and enhancing recreational facilities.

While the church caters to spiritual needs, taverns offer entertainment, albeit requiring ale to operate effectively. Crafting ale is a multistep endeavor that involves crop cultivation, constructing a malthouse, and establishing a brewery. Players seeking guidance on the ale-making process in Manor Lords will benefit from this comprehensive walkthrough.

Commence with Barley Cultivation

In Manor Lords, players can cultivate various crops, including barley. Before planting barley, it's essential to evaluate the land's fertility to ensure optimal growth. To assess fertility, follow these steps:

Transform Barley into Malt

The subsequent phase in ale production is converting harvested barley into malt. This conversion is facilitated by constructing a Malthouse, available in the industry section of the Construction menu. Once the Malthouse is operational, assign a citizen to oversee the barley-to-malt conversion process.

Setting Up a Brewery for Ale Production

The final step in brewing ale is upgrading a burgage plot to level 2. Once upgraded, expand the plot to construct a brewery. To extend the plot, select the structure to access the context menu and then opt for the brewery extension by clicking the gear icon. Citizens within the extended area will transition into brewers. It's important to note that these citizens will no longer participate in construction activities.

Once the brewery is operational, citizens will automatically transfer malt to produce ale. Subsequently, construct a tavern and assign citizens to facilitate the ale transfer from the brewery. Soon, observe citizens patronizing the tavern, enjoying themselves, and endorsing your leadership.
