Many Places I have traveled
many things I have seen, but
few things more than
treasures and heroic deeds
have moved me like a good
beverage has.
Each culture reveres it's
heroes, ridicule's it's
enemies, but always the
ale flows.
Many in Norrath proper say
Dwarves are the best brewers
as well as the best smiths,
one goes with the other.
It is hot work indeed, and a
crisp ale cuts the dust and
replenishes the soul where
minor pains and aches would
eventually force one to quit.
For a dwarf some say I'm
inquisitive as a Gnome, and
snooty as a High Elf when
it comes to tasting brews.
Perhaps I am, but By Brell
it's good to be a cleric
as the effects I've
suffered from my curiosity
have been painful at times.
I shall start in Faydwer
proper as it is close to my
kind.

My close companion Catbik
Tinkerton took me on the tour
of said lands.

Fizzlepop as noted in my other
journals has many purposes in
brewing, due to the amount of
sweetness it contains. I hear
that every 1 out of 6 can
cause an explosion when
bottled due to the intense
pressures contained inside.
Catbik once even made a Kobold
Pup balloon for scouting the
area by force feeding this
soda to the runt and tying a
rope to his legs. In the Pup's
tent I found the
following.

GRUPPA'S POPPIN' ALE
From the scrawling I assumed
it was an explosive device,
but instead it was a fiery
brew, Two bottles of FIZZLE
POP, would be left in the sun
to bake and become unstable,
two bottles of GNOMISH SPIRITS
would steep on a INFECTED RAT
LIVER in a bowl in open air,
PIXIE DUST would be used on
the second mix to clarify it.
Mix in a CASK the heated
sodas in the bottles, and the
clarified liverwater mix. The
Cask would be wrapped in a
rope to hold it together and
then throw at a rock or tree
so the bottles inside would
break. The Cask if intact
would be left to sit for a
week in the sun, then
decanted through a cloth
cap into bottles. It'd
result in four bottles
with a pleasant smell, horrid
taste, and a huge kick.
