Shire Deed: Shire Brew-Master
What do Hobbits love more than full dinner plate and a smoking bowl of pipe-weed? A good-sized tankard of beer, that’s what!
One of the more sought-after titles in LOTRO, “Shire Brew-Master,” is a lot easier to get than most people think. Well, it’s not that easy … but at least you don’t have to dodge any Hungry Hobbits.
In order to gain this title you must complete a quest at each of the Shire’s five pubs:
- The Bird and Baby - Collect the Yellowed Recipe for Carlo Blagrove, innkeeper of The Bird and Baby. The Yellowed Recipe is located on a shelf in the library of the Great Smials in Tuckborough.
- The Floating Log - Ponto Hopsbloom has asked you to pick 12 Frog Hops for his famous beer. Frog Hops grow all over the marsh north of Frogmorton and look like white flowers. Simply pick 12 of them and return to Hopsbloom.
- The Golden Perch - Gunderic Grubb has sent you to search the brigand camp Narrowcleeve for his missing package of yeast. Narrowcleeve is located in the hills south of Woodhall, about mid-way between Tuckborough and Farmer Maggot’s farm. The yeast is located in the second encampment on the right-hand side near a lone Brigand Boss (35.1S, 66.9W).
- The Green Dragon - Barmy Rootknot, the assistant innkeeper at The Green Dragon Inn, has sent you off in search of a lost brandy-barrel. It is located in Lob’s Grove at the base of a pillar (26.8S, 71.8W).
- The Plough and Stars - Halson Tubwort has asked you to collect his powdered gypsum from a cart waylaid by goblins north of Brockenborings. After leaving the pub you must speak to Wilcome Tunnelly (27.6S, 66.4W) at the quarry. The gypsum is in a cart (24.8S, 66.9W) just inside the goblin area in the northeast corner of Greenfields.
Once you have completed these five tasks you will be able to let everyone know that just because you like your beer, you’re no lazy Hobbit!
