How to Make Beer in Ark Survival Evolved and Ascended

 To craft beer for taming a Deinotherium or Chalicotherium, you will first need a beer barrel.  You need to be level 36 to learn the beer barrel engram. The beer barrel is crafted in the smithy and will require water to work.  In ASA water is pipeless, so you will need to be within range of a tap or reservoir.  In ASE you will have to place the beer barrel on an active pipe. Once you placed the beer barrel you will need to fill its inventory with berries and thatch.  It takes 40 thatch, 50 berries and 6 hours to craft one liquid beer.  After you add empty water jars to the barrel, the liquid beer becomes a beer jar.   

 

After consuming beer you will become intoxicated for two minute
