Assuming this is vanilla beer brewing:

You need to be able to grow hops, build a brewery and fermenting barrels. Afaik all of this is under "Brewing" research (one of the earliest techs), hops might even be possible to grow without any research (can't remember exactly).

Make a grow zone for hops and build a brewery (architect -> production). Set up a bill in the brewery to make wort.
Once the wort is made, load it into the fermenting barrels. Wait for about 10 days and voilà - beer.

Two important things: hops and wort need to be in your freezer if you want to be able to store them any longer period of time.
The barrels need to be placed somewhere with a comfortable, consistent temperature (I think it's around 19-25C, normal room temp is usually great).

I usually try to put the brewery near the freezer, sometimes even in the kitchen, bc of easier access to hops and wort storage.

Plant hops. Research brewing. Build a brewery table. Work the hops into wort (unfermented beer). Put the wort into a fermenting barrel (found in production tab), build a room with a regulated temperature with a heater and an air conditioner and then wait 7 days.
