I would say that miners and brewers would be considered very, very highly in Dwarf Society. Metalcrafters are the only ones who would be rated higher, aside from nobility.

Near the bottom would probably be herbalists, carpenters, and woodcutters. Farmers would be considered slightly higher due to being less in touch with nature. Though, considering they destroy trees, woodcutters might be more middle caste materials.

If woodcutters destroy trees, then carpenters mutilate the corpses.

Change the profession names either manually or with the rapist to match their castes.
He is referring to how someone saw "Dwarf Therapist" as "Dwarf The Rapist."

Well, here are the castes from Dragon Age.
         
          o Noble caste
          o Warrior caste
          o Smith caste
          o Artisan caste (I would swap Artisan with miner, and consider Artisan the crafters)
          o Miner caste
          o Merchant caste (I would put this lower)
          o Servant caste (Who would be the servants?)
          o Surface caste
          o The casteless

Servant caste would probably be haulers, farmers, cooks, brewers, butchers, etc.

I still think that brewers would be in a caste of their own, equal to or higher than the miners. After all, a fort without booze dies a slow, or sometimes quick, rage filled, angst ridden death.
