Let Me Pour You a Drink
While you’re staying at The Iron Taps be sure to ask Owner and Proprietor, Fortle Stormsight to pour you a drink. The Taps has an incredible selection of alcohol and here are 25 of those wonderful drinks to use in your next TTRPG game.
The Mechanic
Each of these drinks requires a player to roll a Constitution Saving Throw to consume as an action. You’ll notice that each drink has two DC’s. If the drinkers constitution proves to be weaker than the lower of the two numbers they will gains a negative effect as the drink proves to disagree with them. But there is no risk without reward. Each drink also has a higher DC; if the drinker rolls higher than this number they gain a awesome positive effect. On the whole, players will roll somewhere between these number and will mostly enjoy these drinks for their colourful descriptions.

Some state that the list of ingredients for the brew are enough to fill a full leather bound ledger, others say it is an ancient and arcane brewing process that gives the brew its moreish flavour, still others state it is the magic of the Iron Taps itself that charms to drinker into loving this drink, and others that the brew is an actually an elixir of the God’s that will never runout. Whatever the truth, well done intrepid adventure, for finding one of the rarest of brews in all the city!
