* 4-x-x [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] significantly improves Berserker Brew's buffs. Compared to 2 Berserker Brews, Stronger Stimulant shines when buffing expensive, fast-attacking, or low-pierce towers, but it falls behind otherwise due to having 1 less Acidic Mixture Dip.

* 5-x-x [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)|Permanent Brew]] is usually worse than simply having multiple Stronger Stimulants, as it is less cost-effective for most strategies. However, it still has strong use cases in [[CHIMPS]], such as with {{B|Destroyer|BTD6}}s, {{B|Full Auto Rifle|BTD6}}s, or {{B|Druid of the Wrath|BTD6}} + {{B|Poplust|BTD6}} spam.

* Perma-Brew can be moved around the map using a [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]]; this allows it to give permanent buffs to all towers. This is useful in [[Freeplay]] and [[Boss Bloon Event]]s.

* The best crosspath depends on the situation: x-2-x [[Perishing Potions (BTD6)|Perishing Potions]] significantly improves the number of shots the potions can buff, and it is recommended when buffing fast-attacking towers like {{B|Sun Avatar|BTD6}}. When buffing slow-attacking towers, such as {{B|Perma-Spike|BTD6}}, use x-x-1 [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Alchemist)|Faster Throwing]], as x-x-1's faster buff potion reload outweighs x-2-x's increased duration when the number of shots x-x-1 can buff is not the limiting factor. x-x-2 [[Acid Pool (BTD6)|Acid Pool]] is redundant.
