Kingston's Grand Brewery

''The construction of Kingston's Grand Brewery began shortly after the creation of the nation. With the blessing of the 1st Grand Consul, surveyors were dispatched to find a suitable location to build the brewery. During their search, they stumbled across some land that emanated a strange but wonderful energy.'' ''Revelry was ingrained in the land, as food and drink held a flavorful vividness. The brewery spot was immediately established; as if the location was fated to be.''  ~ Moooington, Co-Founder of Kingston's Grand Brewery Kingston's Grand Brewery is a brewery and inn located in Kingston, Rhineland. It was founded by players Moooington, JetpackPiglet, and BlazeCubed.

Grand Brewery and Inn
Something something upward expansion blah blah (maybe security/structural concerns). Possibly due to the builders' own drunkenness, the building stands today as a collage of various building elements and styles.

Events
Being a beloved gathering place, the Grand Brewery and Inn has borne witness to many a celebration of historical significance.

Rhineland-Mushroomica War
Following the victorious war that resulted in Mushroomica's entry to the Duchy of Rhine, combatants are said to have celebrated at the Brewery. The celebration continued throughout the night, travelling higher and higher in the establishment until, at the peak of their drunkenness, several of the partygoers fell to their deaths from the narrow airship gangway. Fortunately, they soon recovered from death and the jovial atmosphere remained largely undisturbed.

The Mushroom Caverns
As the brewery grew in height, there became a need for a basement. As the workers excavated, they noticed that the effects of the jovial magic became even more potent. The excavators intuitively knew they were drawing closer to the unknown source…

Suddenly on the 5th day of digging, they noticed a breath of musty air; a crack had opened up into a cavern full of glowing vines and fungi. At the end of the cavern there was a large throne, pulsating with drunken energy and hearty magic, with an ancient tree crowning it, branches glistening with glowing sappy fruit.

The cavern was renovated into a hall of feasts and celebrations, as the throne's magic emitted liveliness to any form of gathering. Today, the caverns is a landmark destination to any who visit the Rhine. Historians trace the throne to have belonged to a god of merriment who imbued it with its very own existence.

Night of The Allsunghall
Renovation of the Mushroom Caverns kicked into overdrive following sagely rumors of a great festivity in honor of the god Fankt Chwonki. The construction included a grand feast table, catering facilities with brews produced on-site, and music and gambling services. ''Above game, this was a world-building event in commemoration of Rathnir's Birthday on 09/25/2021, in which entrants were tasked with creating a party hall and accompanying lore. '' "The EARTH is FILLED with the splendor of BREWS!! Do not take this lightly, for once alcohol SOAKS the veins of Eldham, ALL shall be driven to blackout!! The throne of my good friend is RECOVERED from under Fankt Chwonki’s nose! And now we shall celebrate your accomplishment!!" ~Fankt Chwonki, god of parties and "asshole"

Upper Brewery
In a slight departure from the architectural style of greater Kingston, the brewery is constructed primarily of spruce planks, dark oak planks, and spruce logs, with less emphasis on stone brick fortification. The exterior is dotted by windows and planters containing both native and foreign plants, and thick vines cling to the walls. The interior is generally decorated with patriotic memorabilia from the nation's early days and keepsakes of the owners.

Brewing Cellar
Capable of producing very many brews, as well as fine cheeses and jams.

First Floor
A small bar, one of the brewery's oldest fixtures, sits along one wall to serve patrons. Adjacent to the bar lies a small fishing dock, as well as a comfortable open-air patio with expanded seating. Against the opposite wall lies the start of a long staircase to the newly discovered Mushroom Caverns.

Horse Stable
Directly next to the Brewery is a roomy stable where travelers from along the highway can store their horses for the duration of their stay.

Second Floor
Additional seating and a large window with a view of a frozen bay. This floor shares a small atrium, facing toward the Kingston Fort, with the third floor. This is the second of two floors which are typically public to all patrons.

Third Floor
Inn rooms for overnight guests, capable of comfortably sleeping three weary travelers with a view of the bay. One wall gives way to an elevated dock for importing and exporting seaborne goods, including a low occupancy boat for domestic voyages hanging suspended from a cargo crane. This floor shares an atrium overlook with the second floor, the ceiling of which supports a small chandelier.

Fourth Floor
A more luxurious boarding accommodation, this floor houses the master bedroom of the brewery, including a canopy bed and multiple windows overlooking not only the frozen bay, but also the Kingston-Nevermore highway, a bustling thoroughfare of trade, in addition to the nearby artisan cheese factory.

Fifth Floor
A full-floor balcony with stairs to both the adjoining lighthouse tower and airship dock. This floor serves as a landing between the airship dock and rest of the building, and as such serves as a storage for airborne goods. It also gives an impressive 270° elevated view of Kingston fort and town square. From here the airship dock extends upward with a second spiral staircase.

Lighthouse Tower
A slightly leaning tower housing a lighthouse for directing both airships and sailing ships, capped by a twisting pointed roof akin to a wizard's hat. The full tower reaches over four stories along the side of the brewery, and houses a spiral staircase for moving between the building's many floors.

Airship Dock
Da airship dock is where da airship dock.

Mushroom Caverns
There are a lot of glowing mushrooms and plants on the ceiling.

Hot Spring
Mineral-rich water flows with a soft gurgle from deep within the earth. Heated by the very fires of existence, the water feeds not only this pool, but also the abnormally large and mystical flora of the cave. While the pool's properties have not even begun to be catalogued, it carries with it an undeniably relaxing nature.

Grand Throne
A large blackstone throne with a glowing purple rune carved into the backrest sits beneath a tree laden with glowing fruits. The throne, presumably the source of the surrounding area's powerful and jubilant magic, once belonged to a minor god of merriment and is said to contain an aspect of this god's very existence.

Catering Pavilion
Lots of food and drinks to add to the merriment.

DJ Booth
Where the parrots go to dance.

Dining Table
A long table with room for 25 guests sits adorned with cakes, fish, potatoes, and other foods. The table itself is hewn of the very stone from which the cavern walls are made, polished to a lustrous sheen that reflects the dancing lights of the luminous plants.

Business Ventures
Over its lifetime, the Brewery facilities and staff have been committed to the advancement of both financial ventures and mastery of various crafts. A large portion of profits are re-invested into research and development of even more profitable goods and services.

Brewery
Can't be a brewery without brewing.

Jam-Making
The Brewery facilities were among those at the forefront of discovery following jam's introduction to Eldham. Its inhabitants were involved in the short-lived jam cult and the successive disciples of jam.

Horse Breeding
The Brewery's adjoining stable had the good fortune to be selected for a state-sponsored horse breeding program in hopes to improve The Rhine's courier-and-cargo-supporting infrastructure.

Trivia
 In the past, the Grand Brewery has been compared to "The Burrow" from Harry Potter. While both buildings have a vertically oriented, patchwork style, the comparison cannot be said to be entirely accurate, as the Grand Brewery shows nowhere near the level of disrepair that the iconic Weasley residence does. The small airship that sits docked at the tower port is based on a design from the Wynncraft server. Another airship of the same design is parked above Kingston's market plaza, and was used to transport drinks to the satellite plaza storefront. The small transport boat hanging from the Brewery's elevated dock is based on the "ship" portion of the aforementioned airship design. The glowing purple rune in the Mushroom Caverns' grand blackstone throne is a Wynnic symbol. The symbol is one of 26 in an alphabet and represents the letter "P". Above game, the builders originally intended to continue building upward for as long as possible, but were eventually limited by concern that the advanced height could prove a severe strategic disadvantage in martial conflict by providing a high vantage point and shooting location above the Kingston Fort. The lighthouse tower was intended during construction to have a symmetric, orderly roof, but the realization near the end of its construction that it had a 2-block center rather than a 1-block center meant that there were no pointed roof designs that would look good. As a result, the plan was changed to incorporate the slightly crooked roof that is now visible.  During the early days of brewing experimentation, some ingredient materials were planted on the frigid shoreline of the frozen bay that the Brewery overlooks. The plants, despite being nonnative to the region, proved surprisingly hardy and allowed the Brewery to flourish in its early days. </li> </ul> References
