Grow Hops on your Farm during the summer. Head over to Pierre’s General Store and pick up a Hops Starter. Then, plant the Hops Starter in tilled soil on your Farm and water it consistently. In 11 days, harvest your first Hops plant—it will continue to yield a new Hops plant every other day after this point.[1]- A Hops Starter costs 60 gold at Pierre’s General Store, 75 gold at JojaMart, and anywhere from 100 to 1,000 gold at the Traveling Cart. If you go shopping at the Night Market during 16th day of Winter, you can purchase a Hops Starter for 60 gold.
- Want to speed up your harvest time? Place Speed-Gro, Deluxe Speed-Gro, or Hyper Speed-Gro to speed up the growing time by 10% (9 total days), 25% (8 total days), or 35% (7 total days) respectively.[2]
- You can grow Hops throughout the year if you’ve unlocked the Greenhouse (by completing the Pantry Community Center Bundle or buying it from the Joja Community Development Forum).[3] You can also grow Hops year-round on Ginger Island (unlocked by fixing up Willy’s boat after finishing the Community Center or Joja Warehouse).[4]
Place the Hops in a Keg and wait 1-2 in-game days to get a Pale Ale. Set up a Keg anywhere on your farm and put your harvested Hops inside. In about 1-2 in-game days, your Keg will produce a Pale Ale.[5]- Get a free Keg by finishing up the Artisan Goods bundle in the Community Center. To make your own Keg, reach a level 8 skill level in Farming and use 30 Wood, 1 Copper Bar, 1 Iron Bar, and 1 Oak Resin to construct one.[6]

Upgrade your farmhouse so it has a cellar filled with Casks. The final upgrade available to your Farmhouse adds a cellar to your home, which has Casks. If you have at least 100,000 gold, visit Robin to complete this upgrade—she operates out of the Carpenter’s Shop close to the mountains. It takes her 3 in-game days to completely finish a requested upgrade.[7]- Robin’s store is open every day except Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (in-game hours). On Fridays, she closes an hour early.[8]
- You’ll need to upgrade your Farmhouse twice before the cellar upgrade is available. The first upgrade costs 10,000 gold and 450 Wood, while the second upgrade costs 50,000 gold and 150 Hardwood.[9]
Place a Pale Ale into one of the Casks and wait 9-34 in-game days. Aging Artisan Goods can take a long time, especially if you’re aiming for Iridium quality. Once the Pale Ale has aged, return to cellar to retrieve it from the Cask. Here’s how long you can expect to wait, depending on the quality you’d like:[10]- Silver quality: 9 in-game days
- Gold quality: 17 in-game days
- Iridium quality: 34 in-game days
