Beer in Ostland

(This article is a stub and will be filled out shortly)

Beer (Ostlandic: Bier) is, by far, the most consumed alcoholic beverage in the nation of Ostland. However, the laws, taxation and traditions surrounding the beverage make it a complex subject - often confusing natives and foreigners alike, akin to Ostland's complex system of currency.

In Ancient Osltnad

The tradition of brewing beers is thought to have originated in ancient Normark, with this method of fermenting cereal grains into a drinkable alcoholic beverage having been brought with those that crossed the Strait of Haifa and settled what is now Ostland. However, Ostlanders are known to consume, on average 50% more beer per capita than their Norse cousins. This is attributed to the much longer growing season, more favorable climate and soil types for the growing of grains. As such, there is a much richer tradition surrounding the brewing and drinking of beers that has survived to this day.
