When selling cotton, manufactured goods, or pottery, do all required beer barrels have to come from a single source or can they be taken from multiple sources including your own breweries, opponent breweries, and merchant beer?

Official Answer
When selling cotton, manufactured goods, or pottery, each required beer barrel may be consumed from a different source. The sources can include:
- Your own unflipped Breweries (these do not need to be connected)
- An opponent’s unflipped Brewery (these must be connected)
- The space beside a Merchant tile you are selling to (Merchant beer)
This is explicitly stated on page 8:
When multiple beer barrels are required, each beer may be consumed from a different source.
Therefore, you are not required to take all beer from a single source; you may mix and match from any available sources as described above.
