Our very own reporter Pyotr Mark just visited the local ale brewer Hilberry Stilburg at the Southgate-Ostwald District and has this to tell:

“By the head-editors request I left the cuisines of noble and ventured to a small brewery near the Southgate to get a few words (and tastings) from the brewer. Little did I know that Mr. Stilburg was a halfling!

Now let it not be said that I would despise the little-folk their food and ale are certainly good but… well let’s not go there.

As I said I met Mr. Stilburg 11th of this month and was much surprised as I learned Mr. Stilburg to be a member of the Guild of Wizards and Alchemists! He told me that like his father and their forefathers before him alchemy has run in the family like a wet weasel (what ever that may mean). And that’s not the only thing that managed to surprise me! Hilberry Stilburg  - while being somewhat open and talkative person – has no relatives working for him! As some of you might now these creatures (by which I mean the halflings) tend to herd in extended families and breed like pest that will eat the food from the tables of good citizens!

I’ll apologize for that. There’s no need to be rude. The Halflings just manage to get on my nerves sometimes. What needs to be said is that Mr. Stilburg brews a mighty good ale! His skills in this business must have something to do with his alchemical heritage.

So while planing your next party keep the name of Hilberry Stilburg in mind! He’s got it all.”
