Ale

Description
"And more than looking the part, he felt the part. The awakening of old memories, the resurge of the wild, mad, glorious days of old before his feet were set on the imperial path when he was a wandering mercenary, roistering, brawling, guzzling, adventuring, with no thought for the morrow, and no desire save sparkling ale, red lips, and a keen sword to swing on all the battlefields of the world."

- The Hour of the Dragon

One of the oldest forms of alcoholic drink devised by man. With just enough alcohol to preserve it, ale can save lives when water is tainted or in short supply. It cools and refreshes.
