Both good points. We're trying not to limit the styles to specific races. Just like you can have a German ale or lager, you will be able to do the same for dwarven beers. I'm sure one of the next dwarven clans will boast a mighty lager ;) We've got a lot of ideas kicking around!

Hey all, just wanted to spread the word about the Dwarf Brew 2010 Recipe Contest. Fantasy Brewmasters is looking for the ultimate dwarven ale and offering $1000 for the recipe! Details here: http://www.fantasybrewmasters.com/dwarf-brew-2010

Thanks glockentalk, I found Yarrow here: http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/search/search.php?refine=y&keywords=yarrow&x=0&y=0 and Sweet Gale here: http://new.midwestsupplies.com/sweet-gale-1-4-oz.html No luck with the Labrador Tea though. I'll post a link if I come across some though.

Where do you get your ingredients from? I found http://www.gruithouse.com/ but they are "due to be back in November 09" :confused: I've been itching to play around with this stuff.

Just did a pumpkin ale last week. Recipe called for 8 - 10 lb. I got a regular large pumpkin that weighted 10 lb, gutted it and wound up with 8 lb left for the mash (per recipe). Chopped it into 3 - 6" pieces, placed in a cake pan with an inch of water and baked @ 350 for 1 1/2 - 2 hours till it...

Welcome, and gratz! Sounds like you did pretty good for a first timer. :mug:

We prefer geek :rockin:

Thanks for the Welcome Joker! I agree, the majority will certainly be quality drinkable beers. I was thinking about this Ogre beer today... I don't see an Ogre farming grain, but I could certainly see one raiding a farm and stealing their crops (and maybe a baby or two). Hops would...

Thanks Hugh Jass! :mug: Happy to be here... looks like a great forum!

haha... damn... I knew the answer to that one too!

Very true... I knew this would be a good forum... just look at all the wonderful advice I'm getting already! :D

Well, a lot of the "authenticity" will be created through the story line and art work. I would expect a Dwarf to make a stout, and maybe even a beer that tasted like an IPA. We're expecting a full line of "normal" beers, but we're also excited to see what off the wall stuff we can come up with...

Hey!! Don't go getting the new guy in trouble now!

Ouch! *searches for cheat sheet while trying to dodge whip*
