I appreciate this probably belongs to the FAQ section, but I have searched and don't seem to be able to find the answer to my question which is:

How the hell do I build a brewery?, I've got the appropriate tech level, but unlike tax collectors or governers there doesn't seem to be any highlighted building to click on and build a brewery, what am I missing? am I looking in the wrong place, help!
 
the top of your left screen, you'll seee a hollowed-out wooden square on the ground (like foundations). Clcik there and if you have the right tech level and the right amount of money, Breweries should be choosable.

cheers
 
Although what may be confusing is that the manual and the English version of the game call breweries by the name of 'refineries'. As a home brewer, that gives me a certain feeling of, shall we say, refinement?
 
I sure would like to build some myself, my problem is I can't come up with that kind of money, I must be missing something? I'm only in the early 1500s so maybe that's it, I just hate to see all those little brown wheels turning all over Europe, I WANT SOME *cries* ...
 
hang in there. develop your trade technology and go after CoTs. Try the ones in the mid-east as they are easy to maintain a monopoly because of your trade level being so high. alexandria, Istafan, etc..

Cheers.

Yes that had me scratching my head for a while, too. It would be nice if they changed the message to say 'We can now build refineries' to be consistent with the name everywhere else in the game.

Ah, thats whats been confusing me I've been thinking that breweries and refineries were two completely separate things, it only talks about refineries in some parts of the manual, yet the drop down menu on the improvements screen refers to breweries at tech level 2, I've really been scratching my head over this one. Thanks to all who posted in reply.
