Fuerrmarr's Finest
Realm: Dorovel
Type: Malt Whiskey
Description: The grains grown in the isolated highland fields above Dorovel and in the still well-lit upper caverns are stored in the deep granaries of the city for safekeeping. When germinated, they are crushed and the great pot-stills of Fuerrmarr II's distinguished distillery. Left to mature for years, this fine Whiskey is shipped throughout the underground kingdom, and out into the outside world. Dwarven alcohol fetches a mighty price so far from its origins...
History: Fuerrmarr Oakstill, third child to a long line of brewers, set out to start his own business, going up against his family's established ales. In his first year, however, disaster struck. Water flooded his storage room, and all of his supplies were, apparently, ruined. Nonetheless, he crushed and fermented the soaked and germinating grains. The result became, completely by accident, his most famous creation- Fuerrmarr's Finest. For years, he kept his methods secret, and built up a very successful business. This was, later, inherited by his son, who in a moment of accidental charity, revealed how he malted the grains before preparing the whiskey. Since then, numerous imitators have appeared, but none have come to unseat Fuerrmarr from his position on the top of the underground drinking world.
Immortal's Forge Brew
Realm: Du Farthen az Kurlan
Type: Fire Mushroom Wine/Whiskey
Description: Not as bad as it seems. These mushrooms grow near the ancient vents that once was the god's forge. Their innards give a mush that when fermented, give either a burning whiskey or a soothing wine.
History: They once grew by the vents by the Immortal forgers. Who ate hundreds, savoring the heat, while they make armour for other gods. When the god that forged here is killed in a battle. The evolving creatures loved to spice their food up. Then, one of them, Yansul, discovered that when fermented it saved better. Currantley there is a lighter brew for outsiders. A heavier brew for those that can take it and a lava hot brew for only those those that can afford it and the Dwarves.
Mushroom Mash
Realm: Glotrith
Type: Nobody knows.....
Description: A strange beverage that will make the drinker first somewhat dizzy, then turn them into a crazed psychopath that will attempt to fight the first thing he sees.
History: With the coming of Brana's black Guard to Glotrith, they brought with them much Orcish knowledge. One such thing they brought with them was the knowledge on how to brew beer using mushrooms. normally it would taste like any other orcish beer, but the mushrooms found in Glotrith are strange. They are normally bright red and taste extremelly spicy when eaten raw. Some experimenting revealed the whole "Drink this and you go on a killing spree" property of the drink. This drink is now only served for amusment or if there is a war and your troops need an extra boost.
Anokan Ale
Realm: Venetia
Type: Barley wine
Description: Do not mistake the type "barley wine". This is merely a name because this beer can be just as strong as wine. It is, indeed, a beer and made from a grain and not a fruit as wine would be. This beer is a deep reddish-brown color and is aged for some time in its main brewery in Venetia. It has a natural sweetness, but it is not too sweet, being balanced by a sufficient amount of hops. It has a slight sour taste because of the seaweed that is used to reinforce the soil in which the barley is grown.
History: The barley fields that exist around Venetia have long been inhabited by skilled farmers who have for hundreds of years brought shipments of their fine barley to the brewery in Venetia. These farmers have also long used seaweed from the Anokan Sea to reinforce the soil in which their fields were growing barley. When shipments of this barley arrive to Venetia, the barley is fermented and aged. When the first batch of Anokan Ale was produced, it was personally delivered to the king of Venetia and became his drink of choice. Ever since, that king and all kings after him allowed full production of the ale.
Genoan Lager
Realm: Gondola
Type: Pale lager
Description: This beer has a very light, golden yellow, clear color. A distinct hop aroma and flavor are characteristic of this pilsener. This beer's flavor is unique and strong, yet light and tasteful.
History: Gondola's finest beer is the result of several interesting experiments. Some time ago, Genoan brewers began to ferment beer in cool caverns located underground the large city of Genoa. These brewers quickly began using bottom-fermenting yeasts. The result of these experiments was a beer with improved clarity, flavor, and shelf-life. Soon Genoan Lager was an established business that had purchased plots of land with easy access to these underground caverns. It became custom for large parties to be held underneath the city center in which only this beer would be served. After the brew achieved local fame, it soon became available for shipment to many kingdoms and city-states throughout Sekai.
Minoak Red Wine
Realm: Korelia
Type: Red wine
Description: This red wine manages to maintain a high alcohol content amidst a strange sweet taste. That is because the grapes used in this wine grow on a vine only found in the Korelian Forest. The vine is odd in that it only grows around certain types of trees, as if attached to these trees. The vine does not strangle or damage the tree, but actually the tree and the vine feed off each other, and the vine eventually becomes as thick as the tree trunk. The result is what looks like a massive, twisted oak tree. Because this occurs only in the deep Korelian Forest, the only realms that produce it are Kinsia, Orsia, Delia, and Moria. When one drinks Minoak wine, there is a sense of euphoria and ease. The wine is not heavy and its taste is unique and delicious. Some wish that the euphoria they felt when drinking this wine was permanent. The euphoria felt from Minoak wine is one that calms, eases, and makes the body tingle. Elves often drink this wine before handling intense conversations, as it makes the conversations lighter and considerably more manageable.
History: The vine unique to the Korelian Forest was discovered by a wise Elven forest ranger named Minoak. Minoak was a classifier of all plants, insects, and birds in the Korelian Forest. He was a brilliant anthropologist and ecologist. The vine was named after him because of his discovery of a plant that would later create a prosperous trade for the Elves that live there. The first city-state to ferment the grapes that grow from the minoak vine was Kinsia. The wine was highly successful, and the other three city-states of the coalition followed suit. Over time, the Minoak wine from each of these city-states became somewhat unique in its own right, but similar enough to call the same type of wine.
