Kingdom Sworn

Brewers boil wort and ferment it into beer and mead. At the vat you tend the temperature and drop in hops and yeast on cue. A mediocre batch sells; a fine one gets a name chalked on the barrel.

Wort is a refined good that never reaches a shop: brew it first, then turn it into beer. Taverns buy by the cask, so brewers and innkeepers need each other.
