How to unlock the Local Brewery achievement in Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition - Definitive Guide
Collect sand to make at least 3 glass bottles in a furnace. Then collect nether warts in the nether. Now kill spiders for the eyes and then cook them, kill blazes for rods and turn to powder, kill magma cubes for magma cream, kill creepers for gun powder (use a bow for an achievement), optional mine glowstone or kill witches/blazes for glowstone dust or mine red stone for the dust.
Now fill your bottles with water and in the brewing stand menu place the bottle(s) in the stand for each potion you want to create.
Now place a nether wart and then a magma cream on top of the brewing stand for a potion of fire resistance (It's optional but add red stone dust to extend the duration) which is needed for
After that the next potion you want is a nether wart and blaze powder for a potion of strength. Optionally you can add red stone dust to extend the duration or add glowstone dust to make it more potent. Either ones fine depending on what tier sword you use but aids
The last potion you will want is a fermented spider eye which gives you a potion of weakness. Then add gun powder to it to make a splash potion of weakness, which is a potion you throw, and again you can add red stone if you choose to extend the duration but is needed along with a golden apple for
Any one of these potions will do for
Most likely though this will be obtained in the tutorial seeing as how it's close by and provides a brewing stand and the ingredients for a potion of fire resistance instead of having to travel to the nether and back.

Several resources are required to craft the needed materials to complete a brew.
Sand needs to be fired in a furnace into glass, which then needs to be turned into glass bottles - specifically nine blocks of sand which will be enough for three bottles. Fill one of these with water for the first slot of the brewing stand.
Next, a trip to the Nether will be required to find a fortress so a blaze can be farmed for a blaze rod. This rod combined with three cobblestone will make your brewing stand.
Lastly a brewing agent is necessary - for the purposes of getting the achievement it can be any of the four: glowstone dust, redstone dust, nether wart, or fermented spider-eye. Place the three bottles on the bottom and the agent on top to finish your brew.
To create a potion stand, you will need three pieces of cobblestone and a blaze rod. Once you've created the stand, you will need a glass bottle; glass bottles are made using three pieces of glass. Glass can be made by smelting pieces of sand. Fill the bottle up with water, now place it inside of the potion stand; now you will need either a ghast tear, a fermented spider eye, blaze powder or magna cream. Those pieces are all items that enemies drop when they're killed, with the exception of the spider eye all of those can only be found in the Nether. Once you have one of those pieces, place it into the potion stand; wait for the potion to brew and you now have the achievement!
If you want the achievement ASAP, a potion stand and the right supplies can also be found in the Tutorial world after the first set of stairs.
