I took an archetype for my Alchemist that does not start with the Brew Potion feature that would give me the feat of the same name.
My question is, since technically Alchemists do not have a Caster Level and cannot meet the prerequisites of the Brew Potion feat, would the GMs of here allow me to take the feat anyways?
In response to this question Paizo them selves said this:
Is an alchemist a spellcaster for the purpose of crafting magic items other than potions?
As written, no, alchemists are not spellcasters, and therefore can't select feats such as Craft Wondrous Item. The design team is aware that this creates some thematic problems with the idea of an alchemist creating golems and so on, and plan to examine this in the future.
So it would seem it is up to GM discretion whether it would be allowed or not. Thematically I should be able to. But I would still like to know for sure if the GMs here will allow it.

There's a way for non-casters to gain the ability to take crafting feats. I don't remember what it is, but it's in there somewhere.

Master Craftsman does not include Brew Potion.
Brew potion feature:
At 1st level, alchemists receive Brew Potion as a bonus feat. An alchemist can brew potions of any formulae he knows (up to 3rd level), using his alchemist level as his caster level. The spell must be one that can be made into a potion. The alchemist does not need to meet the prerequisites for this feat.
Does this last sentence "The alchemist does not need to meet the prerequisites for this feat." apply to only the feature or could that be implied to all alchemists.
I would also like to bring back up what Paizo themselves said, that the design team is aware that this creates some thematic problems with the idea of an alchemist creating golems and so on, and plan to examine this in the future.
With all the minor tweaks to the rules the heads of the site have made it seems reasonable to allow alchemists to take the brew potion feat at a later level if they chose to take an archetype that excluded the feature.

Technically Alchemist's can't take brew potion if they trade it away.
