Beer is an alcoholic beverage popular in Westeros and the Free Cities.
Contents
Varieties
Mugs of strong black beer[1] and autumn beer[2] are served at Winterfell,[1] and a brewhouse near the Wolf's Den in White Harbor is famed for its thick stout sometimes exported to Braavos and the Port of Ibben.[3][4] Sweet beer is among the beverages served at the Red Keep.[5] The inn at the crossroads offers thick brown ale,[6] and nut-brown ale is served at Riverrun[7] and Ashford.[8] Brown beer is also available at Braavos[9] and Sisterton.[10] Barley beer is an offering in the riverlands.[11]
Brown ale[12] and yellow small beer[13][14] is available to the Night's Watch. Beyond the Wall, Craster drinks thin yellow beer.[15] Dothraki drink pepper beer,[16] while pale ales are available in Pentos.[17] Fruit beers and bittersweet black ales are offered in Volantis.[18] Beer halls offering strong black beer line the shores of the Noyne in Norvos.[19] Sour ale is sometimes consumed by travelers.[20][21]
Beer is often stored in casks[22][23] and kegs,[24] and smaller quantities can be transported in skins.[25] Beer is often served in cups, flagons, horns, mugs, and tankards. Some say the alehouse at Sherrer serves the finest ale south of the Neck,[26] and fine brown ale is also brewed at an inn by the Gods Eye.[11] The Night's Watch sometimes store beer in the icy storerooms of the Wall.[27] Some castles, such as Harrenhal[28] the Nightfort,[29] and Riverrun,[30] have brewhouses. Septries such as the Quiet Isle[31] often have brewhouses.[32]
History
Queen Alysanne Targaryen praised a strong northern ale when she visited White Harbor in 58 AC. Lothor Burley served stout and mead when the queen arrived at Castle Black.[33]
During the Moon of the Three Kings, Gaemon Palehair decreed that the poor should receive bread and beer during famine.[34]
