Drinks of the Realms

Alcohol and Faith: Cayden Cailean is the patron god of both ale and wine and his church often has holy sites linked to places serving alcohol. Brewing technology and oenology are both taught by followers of Cayden Cailean.

Cocoa, 6gp/cup

This Maztican product is famous among the wealthy of Calimshan with little shops devoted entirely to the drink now opening. Mixed with sugar, and milk or water, the powder forms a thick stimulating tonic, reputed to restore energy and romantic prowess.

Durparian Coffee, 3gp/cup

Also known as "Kaeth", coffee is long familiar in the lands beyond Eastern Shaar. This beverage has gone all but unrecognized in the north. The dried beans are imported at great expense from distant Durpar and then carefully roasted and ground. Infused in hot water, coffee brews a stimulating tonic, excellent for combatting weariness and enhancing mental acuity. Coffee is consumed in a great variety of ways in Faerūn. In Sembia and Chessenta, coffee is often served as a thick black near-syrup stirred into sweet liqueurs and/or mixed with melted chocolate. The most popular method in Calimshan, The Tashlar, the Heartlands, and the North is the more familiar "brew" drunk black (its taste often altered with dried, ground nuts and roots, medicines, mint leaves, even "dusts" as strong as ginger). Peddlers, explorers, and adventurers often chew the roasted beans whole as they travel.

Tea

Unlike coffee, few teas in the Realms are shipped far, or sold for high prices (though there are "clubs" of tea-fanciers in Athkatla, Calimport, and other rich cities, of wealthy connoisseurs who'll pay much for favorite blends).

This isn't because tea isn't popular or well thought of. It's because the majority of teas in the Realms are "tissanes" or "infusions" or (for the bulk of them) "herbal teas." In other words, boilings of the leaves of various plants other than 'tea.' Moreover, the vast majority of teas are made from local wild plants, and travelers in the Realms expect teas to vary in taste from place to place - so not a lot of long-distance shipping goes on. Within a realm, yes, and from hinterlands into a city, but most crofters and other country folk view tea as something they glean themselves, from wild bushes they (or their children) can "pluck leaves from" as opportunity and need arises. The leaves are usually kept in metal coffers with "sticky-rim" inner lips of the lids, to keep air out (the container is worth a lot more than the tea often).

Most teas are made by pouring boiling water onto a container full of leaves, and then straining the leaves out (often for re-use, after "drying on a shield in the sun" in the poorest households, though no one brews entirely with re-used leaves; instead, they add a little to fresh leaves). The tea is ALWAYS drunk clear, never with milk. However, "murky brew made from powdered leaves whisked in a bowl" is the norm in the Shining South, and in ports where travelers from many places mix, all sorts of tea-making habits and techniques are used and copied. Tea in most dining-houses (restaurants) replaces the real-world "dusty glass of water on the table."

Except for places that have docking or gate-entry fees levied by the conveyance (a wagon, or a ship), no one levies import or export duties on tea ("Tea? TEA? Pass, merchant, and may you know better fortune within than to have to trade in tea!"). Even if you showed up with a caravan-full, you'd not be charged duty (though you might thereafter be watched, as a madman or a liar actually "up to something else").

Shou Lung Tea, 1-3gp/cup

An herbal infusion from far away Shou Lung, tea drinking is as much an art form as it is a hot beverage that both soothes and invigorates. Pale Jade has a subtle flavour, while Earth Dragon is stronger in both color and taste.

West Lake Dragon Tea

Long Jing, also known as West Lake Dragon Tea, is a green tea found around the Sea of Fallen Stars. Long Jing is imported and shipped from the far east at great expense. It is grown only in the mythical Zhejiang province in only a couple tea gardens.

Crafted by Arlho's Fine Flasks, Brewery/Winery in Ashabenford, Mistledale. Quickly snapped up by merchants.

Ashaben Ale

Bitter Black, Beer (Cormyrian), 3sp/pitcher

This hearty stout from Arabel is one of that city's major exports, and deservedly so. Best served at cellar temperature (Arabellans sniff at any other way of serving this drink), the stout is heavy and is jet black with a dark brown head of foam.

Bitterroot Beer

Black Boot Stout, 7sp/pitcher

Crafted by Arlho's Fine Flasks, Brewery/Winery in Ashabenford, Mistledale. Quickly snapped up by merchants.

A Sembian brew of strong, harsh temperament, Dragon';s Breath is often served with a platter of dark rye bread and death cheese.

Dwarf Ale, 3sp/pitcher

Only the most generous drinker would actually call Dwarven Ale "good" unless you're a dwarf. The trait of Dwarf Ale that most drinkers appreciate is the high alcohol content which soon renders the taste tolerable.

Dwarf Beer, 40gp/pitcher

Dwarf beer is more like liquid bread than a beverage to be savored alongside a meal. It is thick, dark, bitter, and extremely potent; meant to sustain the hall through long months much like iron rations. The various recipes of each clan or hall invariably bring subtle nuances to the drink - which are wasted on non-Dwarf tongues because most consider it utterly unbearable.

Elder Root Stout

Elminster's Choice, Beer (Cormyrian), 14cp/pitcher

Whether its name is authorized by the old dear himself or is just a marketing ploy (the wisdom of this is questioned: any who know the old wizard knows he drinks anything this side of gorgon's milk), this dark beer, cloudy with yeast and having a heavy head, is of standard quality. Its bitterness leaves a smoky aftertaste, and is preferred by adventurers around the Wyvernwater.

Flounder Beer

Golden Sands Lagers, Beer (Calishite), 2sp/pitcher

Southeren brews, including these Calishite beers, are rare, interesting, and lighter drinks called lager. They are lighter in taste, color, and weight and have more effervescence. Golden Sands brews come in varying types, each with different additives to alter the taste of the base lager. The following are the variants of this Calimport brew:

Golden Sands Basic

Unadulterated lager with no added flavorings after brewing. It has a pale yellow color, white foam, and light bubbles.

Golden Sands Gold

The basic brew specially fortified with extracts from cacti and nettles, giving the beer a sharp, more bitter aftertaste and its deeper golden color.

Golden Sands Orange

Braced with flavor of orange and currant, this unique lager has an acidic aftertaste, but is sweeter than the basic lager.

Highwater Ale

A minty, clear throatburning beer. "An acquired taste." This ale is made from the well water of the Shield and Keep tavern in Highcastle, High Dale. Rumors are that the gems and monster bones at the bottom of the well give its strange taste.

Highmoon Dark Beer

A dark smoky beer, with a rich, nutty, almost bacon-like aftertaste. Brewed on premises at the Oak and Spear, Highmoon, Deepingdale.

Iriaeboran North Brew

Liquid Ghosts

Liquid Ghosts is a pale ale, sweet to taste and strangely glowing with a greenish hue.

Luglurch Ale, 4sp/mug

Luiren's Best, Beer, 3sp/pitcher

This hefty stout is as black as ink and nearly as thick as the snows of the Spine of the World. Possessed of a sweet flavor and a frothy head, this halflings' brew lives up to its name.

Luskan Black Ale

Maidens' Breath Beer

Slogan: Too Light to Be Good for You!

North Brew, Beer (Iriaeboran), 9cp/pitcher

This brew is best appreciated by less-refined palates, but is passing fare for tavern or home consumption. This dark amber liquid has a harsh, bitter aftertaste (sold by Iriaeboreans as "the bite of the north winds") that is, for many, an acquired taste.

Old Bladderwort Beer

Slogan: It's Sure to Grow on You.

Old Dark Ale

Old One Eye, Beer (Vilhon Reach), 15cp/pitcher

This beer is shipped in containers stamped with a brand of a cyclops' head. The legend is that the recipe was learned from a cyclops over 100 years ago. This brew is akin to the lagers of Calimshan - lighter and less opaque than the standard stouts of the North, but with a higher alcohol content. Old One Eye's fiery red color comes from its secret brewing process. (Rumors mention pepper and other minute spices in the grain mix.) Its odd "hot" aftertaste makes this beer a one-of-a-kind drink.

Old Smoke Ale, 80gp/keg

Golden colored ale, with a mellow smokey taste. Made at the Gunderman Brewery in HarrowdaleTown, Harrowdale. This ale is highly valued.

Shadowdark Ale (Dales), 3sp/pitcher

This frothy ale is almost sinister in appearance, with pale yellow foam atop a cloudy brown bubbly liquid. Despite a daunting demeanor, this ale is excellent, with a light bitter taste. Brewed in Shadowdale, this ale travels easily and is found as far away as Luiren; many adventurers who first tasted this fine brew at the Old Skull are glad to haveits familiar taste in any major city's taverns.

Shanale Lagers

Kraljaom Distillery in the fortified city of Myratma (also in Tethyr), are renown for their ciders, ales, beers, wines, and stronger distilled liquors. Many of their most famous wares, from the jelously guarded agis wines indigenous only in Country Calimmon to the light golden Shanale lagers are exported out.

Tanagyr's Stout (Moonsea), 3sp/pitcher

This heavy, pitch-black stout with a low, rich malt flavor - the richest, smoothest, headiest drink this side of Evermead - is a beverage native to the Moonsea region. Long ago it was said to have originated in Zhentil Keep; this dark origin giving the beverage an exotic and almost dangerous appeal among adventurers, rakes, and toughs.

Tantul's Dark, 16sp/pitcher

Tantul's Dark is a spicy, nutty, ropy thick stout to which is added crushed berry juice and other secret ingredients. More a meal than a drink. Made by Tantul's Old Tankard, Essembra, Battledale.

Two Knight Brewery Ale and Mead

These are a collection of meads and ales brewed at the Two Knight Brewery in the Gur town of Sandpoint. Located on River Street on the banks of the Turandarok River, Two Knight Brewery is the supplier of most of the mead, ale, and rum consumed in Sandpoint. The brewery was founded by the brothers Wade and Gaven Deverin, who also happen to be cousins of Mayor Deverin, during the founding of the town.
