Brewer's Beer Bootlegging is a lone shack at the foot of the cliffs due west of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters. Its owner, Gourd, built a still under the floor to brew his own beer, Strategic Nuclear Moose, but a cazador infestation killed him before the business got going. The cazadores never left, and several nests surround the shack, so expect a fight on the way in and again on the way out.
Inside, the key to the Average-locked cellar door sits on the bookcase to its left, next to some bottle caps and a star bottle cap. Downstairs are the brewing setup, an Average-locked chest full of explosives and a Hard-locked gun cabinet holding a high-tier weapon. The cabinet's key is next to the chemistry equipment, under a Big Book of Science. This little treasure hunt is the unmarked quest Strategic Nuclear Moose, and it is an excellent haul if you can survive the cazadores.
How to get there
From the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, travel due west toward the cliffs until you reach the lone shack.
Notable loot
- Big Book of Science (cellar, next to the chemistry set)

Tips
- Cazadores often wait right outside the door after you save or reload inside, so step out ready to fight.
- Use the key on the bookcase instead of picking the cellar lock.
- The second key, under the Big Book of Science, opens the gun cabinet.
