Brewfest

This seven-day period is one in which many shops, inns, and even temporary market stalls and marquees hold celebrations of harvest and brewery. There is a competition held in the guildhouse of the Guild of Ostlers and Brewers for ales, beers, meads, wines, fortified wines, spirits, liqueurs, and the skull-bursting fortified liqueurs (distilled several times over). Senior guildrnembers taste and judge the beverages, which come from as far afield as Perrenland (a notorious thick black mead) and Sunndi (a magnificent madeira-like sweet wine). In recent competitions, a drink from the Duchy of Tenh has stolen the show in the dessert wine category. Although Greyhawk as a city does not celebrate the entire festival, the first and last days are public holidays, and an alarmingly high percentage of the population is significantly intoxicated on any one of the seven days of this festival.
