The beverages below have been introduced since the start of the Sixth World.

Hurlg[]

Or'zet for strong booze. A dark, thick ale the consistency of soup, swimming with hops and nutmeg, and fortified with a combination of 160 to 180 proof alcohols.

The mildly hallucinogenic properties of large amounts of nutmeg, along with the alcohol generates a terrific buzz, and often leads to passing out afterwards. Hurlg has a robust, nutty flavor, and is inflammable. Those with lower constitutions (especially humans and elves) often suffer disorientingly severe and painful stomach cramps unless they have a related implant or magic.

Fomorian Usquebaugh[]

An Irish Celtic version of Hurlg, more reminiscent of whiskey in flavour.

Orkstaff’s XXX[]

A North American brand of Hurlg, taking its name from the original meaning of XXX

Earthdawn[]

In the Fourth World, Hurlg was an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rye mixed with animal fat. The type of fat used determines its quality, from low-grade cat fat to celebratory thundra fat.

Old Redeye[]

Expensive and recognised licquor.

Soykaf[]

A coffee substitute made from soybeans. Much like other soy-based foods, it became common due more to the cost of the real thing, than its own flavor quality.

Taéngelé[]

A distilled hard liquor made of honey and anise. Sweet with a pleasant bite of licorice, it's what ouzo always wanted to be when it grew up; described as full-bodied, with a healthy ethanol kick. Surprisingly, hangovers occur much less frequently than with mead. Made locally in Tir Tairngire, there are several different brands.
