Fantasy Ales and Beers

[Aclay]

I've noticed two threads within this forum that have delt with Ales and Beers from fantasy novels (i.e. Hobbit Ale and Butter beer), and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there in homebrew-land that has tried to replicate any other fantasy novel brews. I've been thinking about doing a brown ale from David Eddings first series. A character in the series has a fondness for a rich brown ale with apple overtones. This should be an easy one to replicate.

Any of you other Fantasy fans out there tried something unique that was inspired by a fantasy or sci-fi novel?

Yes, this is a thread to embrace your Dorkness and combine it with your love of brewing!

:rockin:

 

[DeathBrewer]

What you didn't see the Klingon Blood Ale thread??

 

[Aclay]

No, I missed that one. No one has any fantasy recipes to share?

 

[RadicalEd]

I really wish I could think of a drink popular in the Wheel of Time, but they all seemed content with mulled wine and tea. I do seem to recall the lad's father's apple brandy being mentioned as delicious, though .

Well, after finding a few neato search functions, I found a few interesting tidbits:
-all of the beer and brandy was made locally, at least in the Two Rivers district
-at least one reference to brown ale
-there are references to local beer styles

Sadly, not nearly enough to compile a recipe with .

 

[Silviakitty]

I should design a series of Forgotten Realms libations.

Perhaps some Tarisian Ale is in order?

www.starwars.wikia.com][/url]Tarisian ale

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

"You have to try this Tarisian ale. It's fantastic. We should have conquered this planet ages ago." ―Sarna
Tarisian ale was an extremely strong alcoholic beverage brewed on Taris. It was one of the planet's main exports; the ale was made from the glands of a tach. Consuming just one was enough to intoxicate, or even incapacitate, inexperienced drinkers—or even experienced drinkers who were having their first Tarisian ale.
Perhaps for that reason, it was popular amongst the Sith troops who occupied Taris during the Jedi Civil War. The drink ceased to be produced after the planetary bombardment of Taris in 3,956 BBY, due to the fact that few offworlders knew the secret of how to make it, although Griff Vao claimed to have the recipe, and hoped to monopolize the drink after Taris was destroyed. Many of the Sith that purchased this drink may have used it as a way to forget the pressues of Sith life at the Barracks in the Sith Military Base which was described as "boring" by several of the Sith that worked there.
By 40 ABY Tarisian Ale made a resurface. Whether or not it was due to Griff was unknown.

BBY stands for Before th Battle of Yavin
ABY stands for After the Battle of Yavin

Corellian noale -- A presumably non-alcoholic version of Corellian ale (Outbound Flight).

Coruscant Cooler -- A fruity juice and wine mixture from Coruscant (MedStar I: Battle Sugeons).

Cr�me D'Infame -- One of the most coveted wines in the galaxy (Yoda: Dark Rendezvous).

Daranu -- Made from Terrberries and select spicy nuts on Parein II 4 in the Sarin sector, it is fermented in Sweetgreen Fruit hardnut shells. The taste is very soothing and refreshing... until the alcohol hits like a blaster bolt 30 standard minutes later (Galaxy Guide 9).

Dark Side Daiquiri - A popular iced cocktail (Medstar II: Jedi Healer).

Deltron Spice Wine -- A spicy wine (Marvel Comics).

Desert Bloom -- An alcoholic beverage, perhaps a cocktail, served at the Tatooine-themed Bantha Traxxx nightclub on Lianna (Wretched Hives of Scum and Villainy).

Ebla beer -- An ale brewed from Ebla grain on the planet Bonadan (Han Solo's Revenge). Note that this beer is often mistakenly referred to as Elba beer (A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, 2nd Edition).

Elshandruu Pica Thundercloud -- A mixed drink the effect of which has been described as similar to the sonic boom produced by a passing starfighter, capable of knocking the drinker out of his or her seat. The beverage was named a thundercloud because a chemical reaction within the drink creates a miniature "cloud" of ionized gas above the glass. To complete the effect, many bars serve the drink in a container that shoots tiny microshocks into this cloud (Galaxy Guide 9). See also Pink Lizard Thunderbolt.

Endorian Brandy -- A spirit originating from Endor (Dark Nest: The Joiner King).

Endorian Port -- A very sweet class of wine originating from Endor (New Jedi Order: Star by Star).

Endrolian Ground-Apple Juice -- A fruit drink that isn't intended to be alcoholic, but which often ferments while in storage (Galaxy Guide 9).

Flameout -- An extremely intoxicating beverage that, when mixed correctly, scalds the tongue yet freezes the throat (A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Han Solo's Revenge).

Jawa Beer -- An intoxicant locally brewed by Jawas on Tatooine (Star Wars miniatures, Movie Trilogy Sourcebook). See Local Rocket-Fuel and Jawa Juice.

Likstro -- A brand of beer available just prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, it was served on tap (Outbound Flight).

Local Rocket-Fuel -- Slang for any home-brewed alcoholic beverage (Labyrinth of Evil).

Lum -- A powerful beverage, popular in Corellian space, it's frequently used in "lumguzzling" drinking competitions. This is at least partly due to the fact that while an individual feels the common effects of alcohol when drinking lum, it's impossible to overdose on it. This beverage has led to engendered the description "lum-soaked-drunk" (Galaxy Guide 9, Darth Bane: Path of Destruction).

Mandallian Narcolethe -- A liquid intoxicant made in the Mandalore system by the Mandallian Giants (Galaxy Guide 9, Star Wars Insider #80: "History of the Mandalorians").

[talleymonster]

Membrosia -- A widely popular, sweet smelling spirit produced by the insectile Killik race. It begins as a liquid that oozes out of the abdomens of Bantha-sized Killiks called Membrosia givers.

Skannbult Likker -- This brew is considered to be the most volatile intoxicant in the galaxy. It originates from Skann in the Astal Sector, distilled by local farmers from that planet's Dust-Corn and Dry Gene Wheat.

Tarisian Ale -- An ale from Taris; a favorite drink among the planet's Sith conquerors (Knights of the Old Republic; "Shadows and Light," Tales Vol. 6).

Tatooine Sunrise -- See Tatooine Sunburn.

Thuris Stout -- A strong, dark ale (Galaxy Guide 9).

T'iil-T'iil -- An expensive liquid intoxicant made near the moss caverns of Loj. It's possibly extracted from the T'iil plant which is found on Alderaan (Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, 1st Edition, Star Wars Radio Drama).

If fantasy is something that does not exist then how can you brew a fantasy beer based upon this.

you strange people you!

 

[BigKahuna]

Talley...You got beat up in High School a lot didnt' you? I'm glad you're here now...That is flippen cool man. I'd jam on some sort of Mead that I could picture Yoda getting tanked on. I wonder if his sentence structure would become normal???

 

[TheOceaneer]

One day, I would like to tackle Spice Beer from Dune. From the description in the books, it should be deceptively strong, and taste predominantly of cinnamon. I'm thinking Belgian...

 

[FishinDave07]

So i take it you like Star Wars?

















....Me too! :rockin:

 

[MikeFlynn74]

Spice Beer from Dune

Awesome


NEEDS MORE CHARACTERS

 

[TexLaw]

It looks like that first Star Wars list pulled in a couple things from The Hitchhiker's Guide. Hmmmm . . . .

[sirjess]

I like the idea of a spice beer from Dune, I am finishing the last book right now. LOVE IT.

 

[MikeFlynn74]

Which last book?

 

[Evan!]

nerrrrrrrrrds!

 

[DiscoFetus]

We had tossed around the idea of brewing a line of D&D based beers...I'd be afraid to make StarWars based ones for fear Lucas would take all the money I don't have. :cross: ....although it would be fun to try to make some of those.

And isn't Romulon (I can't spell) ale blue? That would be interesting to try to make.

 

[maltMonkey]

and I didn't think you could geek up beer........

 

[DUCCCC]

There's a number of Frank Herbert fans on the forum, and I know there's more Dune themed brews than listed here.
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=42818 for instance.

 

[Shonuff]

I'd like to brew a beer from the fantasy movie Boyz n the Hood. It's called Olde English 800. Or perhaps Colt 45. anyone ever had them?

Who are we kidding? We've all had them and probably have made Brass Monkeys with them.

 

[novafire]

Brewing Romulan Ale has always been in the back of my head. No idea what type of beer it would be most similar to, the only things for sure are that it is strong and blue.

Romulan ale is a highly intoxicating alcoholic beverage of Romulan origin with a characteristic blue color (this can range from a pale sky blue to a dark midnight blue, depending on the "vintage"). It takes a while to ferment and is also used for medicinal purposes.​

 

[Arneba28]

christ...and to think I was happy with brewing actual beer...let me just throw this in.

I am a science nerd all the way but damn...you guys are.........special

Just don't get it at Quark's Bar in the Las Vegas Hilton. It was friggin' Miller Lite with blue food coloring. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed.

Interesting, I never heard of Quark's Bar, so I had to google it...

Here's what they say about their Romulan Ale on Hilton's website. (I added the bold).

In the adjacent bar, you can be the first in your galaxy to enjoy Romulan Ale (a specially brewed blue beer) or unique concoctions such as a Ferengi Freeze, Vulcan Volcano, Ferengi Marauder or the Harry Mudd martini.

Specially brewed by Miller, eh?

*EDIT* How come all the Romulan Ale recipes online are mixed drinks???

Romulan Ale Recipe

Ingredients
1 1/2 oz White rum
1 oz Blue Curacao
Sprite (or 7-Up)
6 drops Tabasco sauce
Mixing Instruction
Pour rum and curacao into a tall, narrow glass. Fill (almost) with sprite, and add tabasco sauce. Add a grain of salt, and serve.

ALE???? Ale my booty!

 

[olllllo]

I tried to make a fantasy beer but I roll a 34.

Then I failed my Infection saving throw.
And then the Pizza came.

And then I found the Random Harlot Encounter table

 

[SRFeldman79]

I once had a copy of Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home, a Dragonlance/TSR/D&D thing, but alas, it is not here in Chicago with me. It might have mentioned beer but probably was alcohol free.

Great thread idea though!

 

[talleymonster]

I'm actually re-reading the Dune books right now. I haven't read them since high school, and lets face it: back then I was usually pretty stoned.:cross:

I'll probably get a little more out of the books this time. I just started reading Dune the other day.

 

[talleymonster]

So i take it you like Star Wars?

I want to get my entire arm sleeved(tattooed) with nothing but Star Wars.

I'm going to have to try and clone a Star Wars brew now. I was such a big fan those movies as a kid, I did the trading cards and everything. That list is great.

The only recipe for a beverage in that book is Tasslehoff's Celebration Punch.

They also have a book, More Leaves From The Inn Of The Last Home, but the only beverage recipe in that one is a Kagonesti Tea.

I'll keep an eye out for clues to Otik's famous ale as I re-read through my collection of books.

 

[Hagen]

For coffee drinking Dune fans, this mantra was popular...

"It is by will alone I drink the juice of Caffiena,
The thoughts aquire speed,
The hands aquire shake,
The shake becomes a warning,
It is by will alone I drink the juice of caffiena."

Sip...

Repeat...

I re-read the series about once every two years -- I've probably read Dune about six times. I'd say that the last time was the first time that I didn't get anything new out of it (meaning, I didn't sit there and go "Ohhhhhh...duh!" when reading).

God Emperor, on the other hand, still bakes my noodle every time.

It's weird reading it now. SWMBO watches Desperate Housewives(and I admit I watch it with her from time to time.....please don't take my man-card!)

Well anyways, Kyle MacLachlan is on the show. Now every time I pick up the book to read, I picture him in my mind as the Depserate Housewives guy instead of Paul Atreides. DAMN YOU ABC!!!!!

 

[blacklab]

Nice to know that, even in the future, people like to relax with a beer.

seeing as how we only have two arms, which sleeve would you pick first, talleymonster, beer sleeve or star wars sleeve? where do your loyalties lie?
