Benefit: not much, but one benefit is you become able to brew tempers for smithing that trivial at 135. You can get to this by creating heady kiola's which are also used for cured silk armor and later with velious master wu's. Think of brewing as a nice supplemental tradeskill.
Also, im sure its needed for coldain shawl down the road.
One last perk, drinking alcohol gives +STR, so by providing alcohol on raids, you can help people boost their str beyond buffs for melees that arent maxed on STR
