I think it's quite funny that Li Li claims to have "never drank a drop of beer in [her] life" when it clearly states in Quest for Pandaria, Part 2, page 2, that "she slurped her beer." Not sure what the Pandaren drinking age is ... but she is cleary trying to hide her drinking problem from the player ...

Description

As long as you're here, you might as well help me out. I'm feeling pretty darn unqualified for the task, seeing as I've never drank a drop of beer in my life. You should try a little sample of each of their grains. Let's see if any of this stuff is sweet enough for Uncle Chen.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Out of SpriteValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Just to be clear, what happened was an accident. What I did, I did for INDUSTRY! There was no way I could have known that a sprite invasion would happen at any time, or that one of them would try to eat my new "Pan's Miracle Gro" formula.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Quest for Better BarleyValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Looking for sweet grain? My father once mentioned a malted cave barley that sounds about right. If you are willing to brave the peril, there is an ancient cave at the base of the Winds' Edge south of here. There is even an old lift my father made when he would travel into the jungle.
