[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3018058, member: 34175"] Just limiting ourselves to real world alternatives: Grain and grain substitutes that could be grown underground or on poor rocky soil: Grass Wheat grass Bamboo A host of mushrooms and fungi Starches and gourds that can be grown in poor or rocky soil: Potatoes Pumpkins Cucumbers Squash Beets Turnips Parsnips Rutabegas A host of mushroom and fungi Sugars and sugar substitutes that can be garnered from plants and objects in said habitat: Sugarbeets (actually provides more raw sugar than cane) Sorgum (Makes great mollasses and can be used as a grain as well) Honey (Anyone ever have honey mead?) Turnips (though it takes a ton of these to produce a usable sugar substitute) So what can we make from these products: Vodka - Potatoes are the prime ingredient in good Russian vodka Mead - A stout ale made with honey and wheat (grass in this case) Ale - Any grain and any sugar (though some experimentation was needed to perfect (gives the camapaign a sense of history)) A host of distilled wines - Any fruit and any sugar mixed with yeast in a cold damp place (like a mine) A host of distilled spirits - Any vegetable matter can be distilled into a working alcohol if given the right mix of sugar and yeasts (There is a German spirit called Rautzenputz that is made from fermented hot peppers - lets just say you swallow it quickly and don't really drink it) So technically, there are a whole stack of possible Dwarven made liquors, a llittle investigation in real alcohol manufacturing and some history of moonshining can yeild a bountiful and potent dwarven inn/tavern menu in no time at all.
