Beer has come to Crypto Kingdom."Very good work, we should be at maximum production very soon".Zephyrus left the Benedictine monk to return to his task at the Church's brewery and stepped outside. The building had been damaged by the earthquake but was still serviceable, and had been a center of activity in the last few months, as the Church was restoring and expanding its beer production.
With the events of the past year still fresh in everyone's memory, and the unhealthy effects of so called "drinking" water, the Church had quickly reached enough brewing capacity to cater for the entire needs of Cryptotown with enough spare to handle a population increase. After all, now that water was known to be a health hazard, and even mead being unhealthy, people would quickly flock to the safe drinking that beer afforded.
Among the different orders of the Church, the Benedictine order was specialized in brewing, and there were some skilled artisans there, crafting some of the best beer in the lands, and supplying not only the Church, but the population at large, with a healthy and enjoyable staple drink.
To celebrate the Church's restoration of its brewing capacity, His Majesty the King graciously gave the Church license to create a special batch of highly prized barley wine. Rumor has it that this batch may well surpass in quality some of the wines available in Cryptotown. The Church will present the King and the Wizard Developer P.J. with the first bottles issued from this batch. This batch has been graded, and is a respectable 12-14/20. The quality is expected to increase with age up to a possible limit of 17/20, giving it the potential to be a very high quality barley wine.
First look at the barleywine, "Friar Maximus":
This wine is initially priced at 48,000 moneritos per bottle, and is suitable for those of expert or higher level. It is significantly cheaper than W1600, making it a good choice for those who have not quite made it to the nobility rank. Only 12,000 of these bottles will ever be made, so this barley wine has the possibility of becoming interesting to a collector after some time, as well as rising in price quite substantially in the meantime.
After the brewing of this first batch has concluded, the Church will be able to supply beer to everyone who wants to drink healthily without incurring the high costs of wine. The Church, desirous to keep healthy drinking available to the population at large, has decided to sell its quality Trappist beer at a low cost of only 5,000 moneritos per bottle, making this a very attractive option for poorer people. This would be a suitable drink for those at level 5 (Novice) and below. The Church hopes that, by keeping those costs low, more people will be able to afford beer. A healthier population will be a benefit to the entirety of Cryptotown and its economy.
If you wish to purchase this, you may buy up to 500 bottles per character. It is located at column JA in the
F_OWN tab.
This one-of-a-kind barley wine will never be made again and is likely to become a collector's item. We have sold a little under 50% of it. There is still time to get your bottle!
Just a reminder-starting very soon, you will be required to drink for health in the game. This can not only be an asset, but also something you need to sustain yourself in Crypto Kingdom.
