The Green Dragon {Pub}
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2021 1:14 am
“There’s only one dragon in Bywater, and that’s Green!”
The Green Dragon Inn at Bywater is a squat, comfortable building with white walls and brown timbers. Its thatched roofs rise two stories above the green landscape, with smoky chimneystacks rising from each. The first floor is the tavern and aleroom, where many wooden tables and benches line the walls, and a row of well-worn stools line the bar. Behind the bar, a heavy oak thing with a time and candle-scarred top, sit barrels of ale and cider, bottles of mead and wine and firkins of pale cordial sit conveniently to hand. Also behind the bar are two doors, on of which leads to the kitchen. Through the other, stairs go down from the lamp-lit and smoky aleroom to the cellar, where the stocks of drinks and cold foods are kept. Across the room at the back of the tavern, stairs wind upward to the second floor of the Green Dragon, where off a narrow hallway are several comfortable rooms, where a weary traveler may pass the night- though how much sleep they will get above the boisterous noise of the hobbits below is questionable.
A new innkeeper has come to the Green Dragon, and the establishment (owned by the infrequently seen Faldranas Took) is now run by Miss Rose Cotton, a maid of many talents who can dispense all manner of spirits, make a bed in ten seconds flat, carry six mugs at a go and bake a mean peach pie. Assisting her with chores and deliveries and whatever else needs doing is Billy Blackwater, a somewhat scruffy looking tween who does his best. And as the innkeeper's cheerful-but-strong right hand, Pearl Brockhouse serves as a barmaid, an ever indispensable person! The Green Dragon Inn is open to all hobbits, friends and acquaintances, and is a place for food, drink, song and merriment, whether you’re young dandy looking to impress a sweet lady, or an old Gaffer after an evening brew and a pipe.

Raspberry Ale – A fruity beer, smooth and sweet.

Southfarthing Stout – A rich, double-stout homebrew, dark and murky, and liable to knock the socks off an unsuspecting young hobbit.

Rosehip Cordial – A light, sweet, slightly syrupy drink flavored with rosehips and a hint of ginger.
Mead – Also called honey wine, pale and sweet, but exceedingly strong
Blackberry Wine – A secret, strong, dark wine imported from sources unknown (see Adab Gelir) by Faldranas Took; rumors abound that it is of elven-craft, no doubt compounded by the inability of hobbits to remember much of the night before when they have overindulged.
