Made from grains and hops that were brought to Gor during the acquisition voyages. Gorean Ale is closer to a honey lager than to an ale or beer found on earth. Its color is deep and golden.

Bazi Tea
Bazi tea is a common Gorean drink, enjoyed by High and Low Castes. It is commonly served hot and heavily sugared. It may be served in either of two fashions.
FIRST, there is a more traditional and formal serve. The tea is carefully measured into three tiny cups, which are drank in rapid succession. Various sugars and milks may be added. Such a serve would rarely, if ever, be done in a paga tavern. It is more likely to be done in one's own home while entertaining. SECOND, Bazi tea is also drank informally, in regular-sized cups (or mugs), with or without sugars and milks. Some taverns may have a pitcher of tea ready for its customers.
NOTE: Cakes and Bazi tea is a popular breakfast on Gorean holidays.
The intricate "Bazi tea ceremony" found online is not found in the books, but showing great care when serving .
Black Wine

Black wine is Gor's equivalent of earth's coffee but much stronger and bitter (more similar to Expresso). Some Channels will have a black kettle brewing over the fires with blackwine. Other Channels require it to be made fresh each time. In SilentRiders Home it will be served fresh EACH time a FP request it. There are two way ways to serve blackwine. "First slave" indicates that the black wine is to be served with sugars or cream. "Second slave" indicates that the black wine is to be served without sugars and cream. Supplies needed are: one temwood tray, three small spoons, a white napkin, a small saucer with 6 yellow and 6 white sugar cubes on it, a small pitcher of bosk milk from the cold room and a heavy thick mug which is kept on the shelves in the servery.

Ka-la-na
A potent red wine made from the fruit of the ka-la-na, served as ordered. Warmed or hot Ka-la-na is heated in copper pots and served in the Gorean enamel trimmed clay bowl called a crater. Chilled Ka-la-na is served in a goblet and is known to have an aphrodesiac effect on Women. Take note never to serve ka-la-na in a silver goblet to a Free Person, as it creates poisons in the ka-la-na and you will be seen as trying to kill the Free Person (this has NOT been found in the books) There is a constant discussion online, as to whether there was a white ka la na mentioned in the books. Nothing has been found, but if a Master or Mistress requests white ka la na, you serve it.Thought to be a symbol of romantic love. Stored in bottles on a rack near the fire, and also in the cold storage. Goblets are stored on the shelves.
