Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Blue Moon Alehouse, a rather large tavern that is rumored to be one of the oldest taverns in Fallcrest. This brewhouse, on the banks of the Moonwash Stream is the best tavern in town, popular among halfling traders. The Alehouse has an aged look and feel to it but seems well put together and well maintained. Most of the clientele have plenty of coin to spend.

Kemara Brownbottle, Brewmaster of the Blue Moon Alehouse. The true (and recognized) genius behind the success of the Blue Moon Alehouse. This two story stone built establishment is a tavern in the city of Fallcrest. The building has a very warm and comfortable feel to it. Walking into the tavern, customers immediately notice the fine construction of the building. It is obvious the management has invested a lot of money into this tavern.

The Blue Moon Alehouse is a very nice drinking establishment located in the northernmost section of the city. It's proprietor is a elderly Halfling named Kemara Brownbottle who can often be found welcoming customers at the door. Many merchants and travelers can also be found here recruiting for various adventures. It is very popular among the short folk. It features a young female half-elven Barmaid named Trista, a consumables merchant, and three hearths to warm your spirits. The tavern has a warm, comfortable feel to it, the hearths are always roaring during the winter months and the taverns ale casks are always full! The establishment also has a "job board" where the governing body of Fallcrest posts various jobs that they are looking for assistance with.

Respectable customers are always welcome as long as they have the money for their drinks and meals. Meals are priced slightly higher than the norm, but the food and drink are well worth the price increase and with the tavern being located in the busier section of Fallcrest, the prices are easily a fair price for the customers that frequent this alehouse while remaining in range of travelers and merchants. The guest rooms are rather pricey but again, they are well worth the price.

The main floor of the tavern is mostly an of open area, with dividers separating each section and filled with tables and chairs and a well stocked bar located on the side of the room as you enter the tavern. Bar stools have been placed around the bar itself. The inn is clean and very well maintained, you can tell the owners take great pride in this establishment.

Meals are served on pottery, pewter or copper services according to the customers order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for the beverages.

The locally brewed dwarven ale and beer is supplemented by brews from other places, and wine, mead and brandy from all over the region.
