You forgot Dragon Piss. Dissolves wood, metal, and glass, kills humans
and halflings who drink it. Orcs can guzzle it like cheap beer, dwarves
consider it the finest thing ever, elves it knocks out for a week (this
despite the fact that elves don't sleep).
Also, if you light it on fire it explodes.

is ripped of from an old Wormy strip where one of the trolls misreads
"Trolls Choice" on a poorly labelled bottle, i just liked the joke and
it became a brew in my campaigns ever since.

One of my favorites was 'Forest Tears', a wood alcohol brewed by hardy elves
in the 'sightless forest'. One of the players in my group mistakenly
believed the name of the brew to be 'Forced Tears', and liked it enough he
bought a few bottles. Over the course of the next year, the fighter's
eyesight started to slowly fail him...

Try adding some names based on the who or where the stuff was brewed
specific to your world. Not just ale but Heathrow Ale or Old John's
Beer. Especially nice if you have competing brewers in a village (or
competing villages). Remember that most alcohol, except for the
expensive stuff, would be brewed somewhat localy, and maybe even on the
premises in the case of beer/mead.

: mead isn't exactly a wine it's more in the class of a liquer
It's definitely not a liqueur, but it's not really wine either. I get the
feeling there's a bit of a terminology weakness in this thread.
Mead: fermented (diluted) honey - some common variations include fruit
juices other additives, since honey doesn't ferment readily on its own.
Wine: very strictly, fermented grape juice; the term is sometimes used
more broadly to cover any fermented fruit or even plant juice,
though the typeof fruit should be indicated in such cases, e.g.
"elderberry wine" or "dandelion wine."
Brandy[wine]: distilled wine; like wine, brandy is usually assumed to be
grape-based unless otherwise indicated, e.g. "peach brandy."
Beer: fermented grain malt - depending on context, the term is sometimes
restricted to (slow, cool) bottom-fermented brews or brews with hops
added.
Ale: fermented grain malt - depending on context, the term is sometimes
restricted to (fast, warm) top-fermented brews or brews without hops.
Whiskey: distilled grain alcohol - whiskey, beer, and ale are made from a
wide variety of grains including barley, wheat, rye, and corn (maize).
Rum: alcohol distilled from a fermented sugar syrup, as from sugar cane or
sorghum.
[Hard] Cider: fermented juice of apples or related fruits; pear cider also
known as perry.
Liqueur: flavored distilled alcohol, typically aromatic, thick, and sweet
Liquor: any strong alcoholic beverage, especially distilled
Note the conventional differences in spelling and pronunciation between
liqueur ("liKOOR") and liquor ("LICKer").
The hopped/non-hopped distinction between beer and ale is the older, and
is probably more appropriate to a typical D&D setting, although the other
distinction is now more prevalent (most modern ales have hops). Hops are
a type of herb (fruits of the hop plant) added to beer for preservation
and flavor, which give beer its distinctive bitterness.

I'm not sure about opium... But I'm no fan of black licorice... I've tried
Ouzo... That and Sake are my two least favorite alcohols. :) Of course, a
couple of my characters love Sake...

I heard it from someone who spent time in the area, and was warned not
to drink the local ouzo because it contained a drug disolved in it. But
this was years ago.

Niether do I.

Really, I really enjoyed it when I had it. But rum and ciders are my
favorite. Along with mead.

"Better mead"? ;)

Mead is a mead. But there are bragots that are 50% honey and 50% malt
and pyments (or is it some other term?) that are 50% honey and 50% grape
juice. And then there's that French drink that's 50% grape juice and
50% malt.

Literally: "Burnt wine". There are brandy/bourbon hybrids now.

And sometimes restricted to weaker brews. A top-fermenter is also
called a "lager", although that would be most technically restricted to
those top-ferments that undergo certain types of long storage.

> restricted to (fast, warm) top-fermented brews or brews without hops.
And sometimes restricted to stronger brews.

Not the fruits--the cones. Hop cones also make an excellent culinary
seasoning.

Donkey Whiskey, mmm. It's at your local store, only they pretend to look at

open the secret store room and make with the Donkey Whiskey.
Also Graa's Dwarven Grey Ale: He makes it himself with his very own body as a

keep it down. In other words a night of free drinking! Just have some sweet

Ouzo is Greek, and there aren't any scheduled substances in it, even in
Greece. However, there is a Greek wine that will blow your mind away
(and it's the only wine I can drink in quantity without getting severe
heartburn)--retsina. It's fortified with tree resin. I must warn that
it is not the sort of flavor that most namby-pamby prissy types who like
"wine" will go for.

At least in English, the term is fairly boring. It's either "distilled
mead" or "mead brandy." I've tried a commercial version named "Suktinis"
from Lithuania, and I'm told that local versions exist in Poland and
Germany.
I've also drunk an illegal homebrew version "distilled" by freezing
and removing water ice, but it's a fairly rare drink.

If you like Glen Fiddich and Glen Morangie you have to try Macallan (the 25
years old is one of their best but the others are very good too) or a
Glenrothes (the '72 is my personal favorit) they're common whisky's so it
would take you long to find them.

some whiskies use old burboncasks others Sherrycasks, Portcasks,
Madeiracasks and even winecasks. you also have the doublewood whiskies who
age a X amount of years in one barrel and the rest in another. but there
enough whiskies who used unused barrels

Bourbon isn't descended from Scotch. Bourbon is a discovery, not an
invention. Original Kentucky whiskey was all of the "white lightning"
variety. Distilled and drank when still very young--and the Scots did not
invent distillation. Bourbon was discovered when the Kentuckians decided to
sell their ware down in New Orleans. The transit time was sufficient that
it altered the flavor of the liquor for the better. Allegedly, Rev. Elijah
Craig invented the charred barrel aging method, but there's no actual
evidence for the story.

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks. I'd always assumed that, since it's a whisky, and
the good people of Kentucky are of mainly Scots-Irish descent, that Bourbon
was a sort of local improvement of whisky.
Oh, and while I've been slow in developing a taste for non-Bourbon Scotch, I
do rather like the Balvenie double-barrel single malt. Aged in regular
bourbon casks, then finished in sherry casks. Yumm. I had £20 to kill at the

Distilled mead would probably be called rum. And you did leave out
vodka, which is distilled potato fermentations. Otherwise this is
the sort of stuff anyone wishing to realistically stock a fantasy
bar might want to keep in mind.
Pratchett describes something he calls scrapple, which is like
cider, except lethal. It does make a good paint remover, though.
Sort of like a Universal Solvent. And sake is a kind of beer
made from rice, as everyone knows.
There are more exotic alcoholic drinks, by the way.
Islanders are famed for bashing a hole in a coconut and leaving
it in the sun. They'd do that with a pile of coconuts just before
the rainy season starts, and then hole up somewhere with the
coconut beer and get horribly drunk while it rained. This stuff
is known as mitihue.
Fermented mares' milk was the thing for Kublai Khan's horsemen,
wasn't it? They call it airag or koumys, and distilled they call
it arkhe. For an extra kick, they'd add a shot of horse blood. Not
kosher, but probably as effective as any 2x4 up-side the head.
Alcohol is, incidentally, a useful way of storing food energy that
won't fall victim to little critters trying to eat it. In colder
climates, alcohol was stored up for the winter for that reason.

It's the neurotoxin found in absinthe that is the basis of it's notoriety
(van Gogh). It prevents neurons from firing or sumsuch IIRC. Of course
modern day absinthe is nowhere near the health hazard it used to be
(homebrews excepted of course... ;). Some herbal remedies like wormwood oil
have it high quantities too.

If it's the stuff I think it is... a hallucinogen picked up from the
wormwood. Drinkin gtrue absinthe doesn't get you drunk, it gets you

You've got it backwards. Lager is (usually) bottom-fermented.
It's easy to remember if you know that "Lager" means something
like "storage-facility," reflecting the long (compared to
ales) storage time of beers. I probably shouldn't use "top"
and "bottom fermented," so much since they're more common in
German brewing jargon than English (obergaerig and untergaerig),
but unfortunately English speakers often use "lager" to mean
Pils[e]ner (which is a Lager, but a special kind of Lager
developed in Plzen), so I avoid the term if I can. "Top
fermented" implies that the yeast sort of floats around in
the ale, while "bottom fermented" implies that it lies
settled quietly on the bottom for most of the process, so
that less yeast gunk ends up floating around in the final
product.
> > Ale: fermented grain malt - depending on context, the term is sometimes

If we must analyze this distinction in more painful detail,
the crucial thing is that ale and beer use different brewing
styles. Ale is the older of the two; beer only became
practical with the introduction of hops as a preservative
(the other critical thing is having a cool place to do
the brewing). Without hops, the fermentate spoils quickly and
so must be brewed quickly. This implies fast, warm, top-
fermentation (making it darker and cloudier in general) for
the ale, which also tends to create a higher alcohol content,
helping with the tricky preservation issue. Eventually, hops
came to be regarded more as flavoring though, especially after
better preservation means developed, so ales, which didn't
really need hops to brew, got hopped anyway (much to my dismay,
since I really dislike the taste of hops). The basic approach
to ale hasn't changed, but since hops are added as a flavoring
to ales now, the hop standard isn't the best thing to use.
Of course there's plenty more nauseating detail, but I think
this is as deep as we need to go.

The cones are essentially the fruits of the hop plant ("mature
flower" is the other common descriptor of that particular
organ), and it seemed likely that the "fruit of [a plant]"
is a lot more meaningful to a general audience than "cone."
Again, there's plenty of nauseating botanical detail to go
into here having to do with the reproductive peculiarites
of the hop plant, but why would we?

Neurotoxin that comes to Absinthe via wormwood. It blocks GABA (neuro

All snobbery aside though: taste is a highly personal issue. What is

Purple Rogue - A strong, slightly syrupy liquor with a
fruity flavor and sharp afterbite, usually brewed by dwarves
and gnomes from a combination of fungi and hardy mountain
berries. Generally brewed in stone cisterns underground,
aged in these same cisterns for a season or more, then transferred
to glass bottles for further aging and later consumption. Dark in
color, ranging from reddish-purple to a greenish black similar
to licorice. Can be very acidic to the taste unless brewed to
exacting standards. Improves very well with age up to the 200
year mark or so, travels well, spoils easily in sunlight.
Spoiled purple rogue can become acidic enough to blister skin,
but has certain alchemical applications.
While the exact recipes are close-kept secrets of dwarven clans,
purple rogue is said to be a common ingredient in dwarven
concoctions for clearing out green slime infestations. It is
possible that the reverse is true - green slime may be one of
the "fungi" used in concocting the stuff.
Availability: luxury item in long-established dwarvish and
some gnomish communities. Occasional novelty luxury item in
settlements that have long-established trade connections with
dwarven communities. Expect an average bottle to cost between
20gp and 120gp, there are bottles in existance that will fetch
(due to age, unique qualities, etc.) ten times as much.
A spoiled bottle of purple rogue will sell for between 1gp and
6gp to a alchemist, assuming the alchemist knows the diverse
uses of it.
As bottles of purple rogue are frequently given as gifts between
dwarven nobles, some bottles are themselves valuable as collector's
items, or may be decorated with precious metals or gems.

the courage to try it. Ganaveigh (orcish for "blood cleaner" or
"fresh courage") sounds much like the Common tongue phrase "gone
away", which is what is said about people who drink too much of
the stuff and pass out (or worse).
Availability: orc encampments, settlements near orc frontiers,
downscale drinking establishments that have orc or half-orc
workers. Price is usually a few silver pieces or less per bottle.
