Ironman verdict

Dwarven stout is a free-to-play item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 5 monsters, 6 shops and 1 recipe for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is The Toad and Chicken in Burthorpe, at 2 coins each. You can also make it with 19 Cooking from 2 × Bucket of water, 2 × Barley malt, 4 × Hammerstone hops, Ale yeast and 8 × Beer glass at a brewery. Each one made gives 215 Cooking XP. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Drink troll (level 14), at 1/10, about one in 10 kills. The best rate is from Rock Golem (monster): 13/78. The 3 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 14 to 86.

Materials you can buy or make: Bucket of water (2 needed), sold at The Lighthouse Store for 6 coins; Barley malt (2 needed), made with 1 Cooking; Ale yeast, sold at Blandebir for 25 coins.

Shops stock it in 6 places, including Burthorpe, Fremennik Province, Lovakengj and Keldagrim.

No recipe in our data uses it as a material. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 1 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch loses about 179 coins; only alch it to clear space.
