The short answer

Grow or import Barley, make Malt at a Malthouse, brew Ale at a level 2 Burgage Plot Brewery, then supply a Tavern.

Do this in your settlement

Make Ale: what to do next

  1. Check Barley or Malt stock before adding another production building.
  2. Staff the Malthouse and Brewery route.
  3. Check that Ale reaches the Tavern; importing Malt or Ale can bridge a shortage.

Why this happens

The Tavern supplies Ale to residents but does not brew it. A Brewery extension makes Ale after the Malthouse turns Barley into Malt. If you have Barley but no Ale, check the Malthouse and Brewery before changing Tavern staffing.

How to know it worked

Ale should appear at the Tavern and the entertainment need should be served.

Can I import part of the Ale chain?

Yes. Import Malt for a Brewery or import Ale directly when local production is not ready.
