So I had set all the brewable things I had to not be brewed so the dwarfs couldn't make alcohol because they had nothing to make it with.

Try building a new still and see if that helps. Try gathering outside plants, maybe berries could be used for wine. Hmmm Is the still cluttered, by any chance?

Whenever I try to brew some more booze I get a message that has cancelled the brewing because there is no distillable item when I have spare barrels and large stores of both Plump Helmets and Strawberries. I've now completely run out of booze and one of my dwarfs was just killed by a pike trying to drink at the river. I'm completely at a lost about what to do.

I've always tried to get into Dwarf Fortress before but all the other tutorials aren't as intuitive and newbie friendly. Awesome guide you’ve got up.

Should have all the info you need. Yes, check the wiki for ‘trapped creatures’, or a similar topic, probably linked off the page on cages. Should have all the info you need.

Unfortunately, at this point I'm really loathe to go any further as I just lost multiple hours worth of progress (for the umpteenth time) due to the extremely bad "save" function (if it can so be called, given its propensity to not actually save anything). I do get that 'Losing is fun', though when they say that I'm pretty sure they mean losing -in- the game, not losing the actual game data itself. /rant_off On the upside though, this is a really great guide.
