Trouble Brewing (Side quest idea)
Here's one for you DM's that want a side quest based around brewing. The players enter a brewing shop, when they find a very stressed out brewer, next to a cracked open cauldron. If the players go up to ask what happened, apparently some rowdy kids threw a brick into the shop & cracked the cauldron, causing all of it's content to go down the drain & into the swearers. The shop owner will ask the player to do three things for them. One: Make sure that the cauldron's content isn't going to cause something 'unfortunate' with anything in the sewers. Second: Find a blacksmith, so that they can come & get the logistics for the pot & how to get it in. Lastly: Get some more ingredients from a local forger that has their camp in the local wildness. It's recommended that the DM makes one of these steps have some type of complication that will cause it too take more steps/ingenuity to solve.
