Whiterun’s renowned meadery lies just southeast of her capital. There’s little of interest outside but quite a bit of drama and intrigue brewing within.

Honningbrew Meadery (Interior)

Speak with Sabjorn inside the meadery to purchase a variety of foodstuffs. You need special keys to enter the meadery’s basement and upstairs office; these are obtained during Thieves Guild Quest: Dampened Spirits. The office holds most objects of value, including an informative note and Skill Book found on tables, as well as a locked chest that’s further secured behind an Expert-level locked door (no key for this one). The office also contains one of seven Larceny Targets that pertain to a Thieves Guild Radiant Quest.

Honningbrew Basement

Beware of bear traps as you purge the brewery’s basement of Skeevers during the “Dampened Spirits” quest. Beware: the Venomfang Skeevers can poison you. Stay sharp and safely trigger a trip wire from as far away as possible to disable a swinging flail. Surprisingly, a dangerous mage named Hamelyn lurks in the cavern that follows. Slay him and poison the nearby Skeever nest, then read the journal you find on Hamelyn’s corpse to learn of his questionable motives. Loot a chest here as well before proceeding into the boilery.

Honningbrew Boilery

You can only enter the boilery via the meadery’s basement passage—the front door remains locked at all times. Head upstairs and optionally steal from a locked chest before nefariously poisoning the giant vat. Exit the boilery afterward with the key that hangs on the wall near the door.
