Model answer:

Any four of: households (to feed the family, with a surplus to sell); monasteries (for the community, guests and pilgrims, and as a trade); towns and guilds (licensing, quality and tax revenue for the council, and a livelihood for the brewers); lords and bishops (income from monopolies, malt and beer sales, and court breweries as a symbol of rank).
