While the turn-based combat and exploration can drive tactical RPG Wartales, there's also a lot you can achieve through crafting. If you made a companion Brewer in Wartales: The Tavern Opens, read on to find out how to get all the beer recipes you need.
Where to find Brewing recipes in Wartales The Tavern Opens
When you first start 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 require no Knowledge. Once you have the tavern upgrade, 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 Tub that can be made by a Tinkerer at camp). Make Cider or Brandy to unlock beerBeer to unlock wineand wine to unlock Mead. You will need to spend 1 Knowledge Point in the Brewing Vat Section of the Compendium to unlock these three new recipes.
Brewing recipes (Recipe-based)
All other alcohol types you can craft require 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 upgrade your tavern until you unlock the Rival Taverns menu and then steal the recipes via infiltration. (Check out my full guide to infiltrating Rival Taverns for everything you need to know about infiltrating and stealing recipes.)
Each rival tavern has one Brewing recipe available to steal. This does not affect Reputation. Once stolen, it will be available in both your tavern and the camp for brewing. You don't need to spend a Knowledge Point to start using them, as they will be immediately available in your Compendium.
