Concept: An Ogre's Homebrew
Code Name: HogWort - for the non brewers in the bunch, wort is what we call beer before fermentation, making HogWort a play on Hogwarts. They'll get better than this, I plomise!
The Beer: Brewers, I want this to be an unfiltered beer to help introduce non-brewers to the homebrew and craftbrew style. It should be something that anyone can brew at home. Fantasy Brewmasters only deals with the best of the Fantasy beers, so while I do not expect an Ogre to put out the most refined brew, It must be top quality if we're going to carry it.
What would you expect an Ogre beer to taste like? Is there a style that jumps out at you? This is our introduction to the Fantasy community, so it needs to be something that most people can enjoy, so hang on to the extreme stuff until we get a little further into things.

The Story: Writers, we're looking for story ideas. If you have some plot lines, or a full blown story, we'd love to hear them. Is it a lone Ogre brewing this beer, or is it a clan recipe?
Another consideration here is the sales model - Should this beer be sold as if we were buying direct from an Ogre, or is it sold through a traveling merchant that picked it up along his way? Maybe it's just flat out stolen goods? Is this Ogre or clan friendly with man? This will be a deciding factor in how the beer is attained?

The Art: We plan to break away from traditional packaging design, and hope to gain a reputation for exciting and original art work on our beers. Since we are in the early stages of building our community, we will most likely commission this piece out rather than try to hold a contest with limited entries. Artist are welcome to submit sketches of suggestions, and samples of their work. If we see enough quality feedback to start a contest we will, otherwise, we will contact those that interest us directly.
