T16: Millrose Brewery

The distinctive smell of growing yeast wafts up and down the Processional from this large building and its connecting smokehouse and steaming vats.

This is one of the few manufacturers in the city that runs three shifts, so there is not letup in activity at night. During the day is when the freight wagons arrive frequently with their hops and barley and malt, and depart just as frequently with their carefully stacked cargoes of kegs destined for the city's inns.

T16: Millrose Brewery. This local ale and beer brewery is an important employer in Old City, running three shifts through the day and night. Wagons and carts full of hops, barley, and malt unload during the day, to return later to pick up kegs for shipment to the city’s inns and taverns. The Ostlers’ and Brewers’ Guild operates this facility, but not all of its many members work here; a number of the city’s taverns have small stills and cellar breweries. The Millrose Brewery is a major supporter of the festivities during Brewfest every year, and about a dozen house labels are created here, each with a distinctive flavor, smell, and appearance. The foreman at the Millrose Brewery is Harwin Yargrove [CG hm zero-level; hp 2; ring of poison detection], who carefully checks every batch to make sure it is safe for consumption (though good taste is not checked as thoroughly).

DM's Notes: The brewery is a regular target of college students and pranksters who try to break into the facility to steal ale or beer. Elaborate beer-stealing plots have been hatched over the years as bored and restless young citizens try their hand at good-natured larceny, despite the penalties for theft (usually a large fine).
