An enormous push-trolley piled with brewery kegs comes rolling in through one of the regular portals. Sam Ellemere is straining to get it out and to a spot convenient to the Nexus Couches; he's wearing his tapster's apron and a determined expression. He gets it into place, steps back catching his breath, and wipes his hands on the thighs of his trousers. "Right," he said, looking around.
"In the interest of fun and because I'm the ragingly pacifistic sort of drunkard, I'm holding a tasting of stuff from my brewery. The drinks are enchanted only in the sense that they can be digested by and will work on any being, be they undead, alien or mechanical. Yes, that means a few mugs--or barrels, in the case of you Enormous Folk--will get you rather toasty.
"We have on offer today the following varieties." He pulled a folded-up card table off the trolley and set it up, then stuck a sign on it.

"I had some difficulty figuring out how to serve our larger members. But then I decided simplicity was best." He rolled a barrel off the stack and set it on the side, revealing the very large coffee-mug-style metal handle that had been bolted to the side of the barrel.
"Well! That said, I could really use some help moving out all these barrels and setting up. Anyone feel like lending a hand, tentacle, servo or other appendage?"
