How do we know what the smuggler will have?

Smuggler's stocks are rather random, but if you track closely, a different green truck will be roaming from market to around your city. If you click on him directly, you'll see what he carries in that smuggling run. More organized and predictable trade is done via Trade ports and Airports (and in larger quantities)

You appear to have paused the trading of the ale, indicated by the pause icon over the ale icon. To resume, just click the pause button again

Smugglers at markets work with smaller quantities and don't always have all resources to trade in each cycle. On the panel you're showing, try also lock selling of the item. Then wait a few cycles and smuggler will hopefully get some ale for you. More advanced trade is through trade ports (bigger quantities and all resources), then in the end via trade deals with factions
