Starlit Court Food and Drink: Difference between revisions

Due to the range of agriculture that takes place on the internal surface of Sihi there are many resources necessary for the production of alcoholic drinks including a variety of herbs, hops and wheat. This results in a wide range of different drinks being popular among the people of Sihi.

 

Popular among the more religious crowd due to its apocryphal relation to La Fae

In the production of beer the people of Sihi have traditionally kept to a fairly strict ruling on the allowed ingredients of beer, usually only water, barley and hops. (Yes this is the Reinheitsgebot)

In an attempt to add new flavours to their beer while following the letter of the rules that have been set down, residents of Sihi have taken to some interesting tricks.

There are a particularly well known series of beers that are aged in old absinthe barrels.

Produced from the particularly strong, pungent honey of the Trapjaw Ant.

Added fruit/berry variants

Usually served with dinner at formal events, such as important diplomatic meetings, meetings between Orders, right before cracking Cold Ones, and the like.

Specific brands and cocktails

Esquire: Technically, esquire is a type of beer known for its particularly low alcohol content, averaging around 4.5% abv. Esquire is treated more like a soft drink than alcohol, and is served to anyone regardless of age. However, when a member of the Court refers to Esquire, they are referring to Lower Lakelands Brewers’ Esquire. The Lower Lakelands Brewers Esquire was the first esquire beer, originally made by the head brewer for the nephew when their knightly order refused to serve their squires alcohol due to concerns of most beers being too strong.

Double Dew Transcendental Drizzle: A recent product of a Sihian startup, Dew Fog Ltd, inspired by their experiences with a variety of alien cuisines. Brewed from an absinthe base and a range of micro-grains gathered from across the sector and fermented using a custom designed yeast procured from the Children of the Vein. Due to Dew Fog ignoring the purity standards that Sihian custom dictates for being defined as beer means that despite DDTD being quite obviously a beer it is marketed as a carbonated absinthe.

 

This tea is brewed using the petals of the Devil’s Rose, in scalding hot water with sweet oil. It gives off a nutty, earthy smell, the taste is nutty with notes of smokey citrus and caramel along with a soft ginger undertone. It’s commonly served at tea time with a single spoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey and soft biscuits or scones.
