Join clan and kin in Anvilmar’s local tap house, the Steel Pub!  Located in Coldridge Valley, Dun Morogh for three years, this cozy tavern is the perfect place to spend your Sunday evenings.  What better way to relax, than drinking cold brews next to a warm hearth and even warmer hearts?

New Staff!

The Steel Pub is happy to announce the newest editions to it’s ranks!  Burly Darkdraft,founder of “Darkdraft’s Mineral Brews” is a Dark Iron Dwarf who infuses rare ore and minerals into his brewing processes.  Honig Honeystein, founder of “Birch Forest Meadery” is a Wildhammer Dwarf who brews meads using ingredients from his native Highlands.  Finally, Tyrman Bladebreaker, a Gnome brawler known by many in the brawling circuit as “Mad Dog” has joined the pub’s ranks as an official bouncer!  Bathildis Ironstout is ecstatic to have these fine folk around for their company, what changes they bring to the table, and the extra helping hands.

New Menu!

Needless to say, having three brewers running a taproom, everyone wants a little piece of the action.  From now on, the Steel Pub’s menu will feature primarily Steelgrasp brews.  As this new “Council of Three Brewers” works together under the name "Steelgrasp Brew Works”, the menu will continue to expand and evolve as creative new drinks rotate through seasonally.  As for these Dwarves’ individual projects, each brewery is allowed to feature up to four rotating beverages at a time.

Despite all of these new additions, one thing will certainly not change!  No matter what your craving, we’ll have something for you!  So come on down to Anvilmar Sunday night, end the weekend right, and stop by for some strong drink and fine Dwarven Hospitality!

OOC Info:

The Steel Pub it is a Dwarven taproom and pub run role-playing event out of the backroom of Anvilmar, Dun Morogh almost every Sunday night, 6 pm until 9 pm PST.  It is hosted by the Steelgrasp Brigade on WyrmrestAccord-US.

The pub has been running since January of 2016, and until just a couple weeks ago, has been hosted primarily as a solo act by my character Bathildis.  Due to a recent influx of new patrons, and new interest displayed by other brewing role-players, I am excited to announce our expansion!

With well over a year of evolution, we are not just any other tavern RP experience.  We bring much more to the table!  What these changes mean for you is more variety in your RP, quicker service and longer interactions from staff, and a more consistency on the actual calendar.  (No more canceling when the one person hosting can’t make it.)

To other brewing, wine-making, or distilling roleplayers, we will happily offer your in-character made drinks in the import section of our menu!  For any other questions or info, feel free to contact Bathidlis, Darkdraft, Honig, or Tyrman in game!

Two new ales added to the standard rotation!  

Clan Ironstout Brewery is happy to announce the addition of Bronzebeard Blonde, and Wildhammer White Ale to their standard yearly offerings.

Wish to try them both?  Never fear!  Order a “Council of the Three, Hammered!” to try both of these new beers, served also with Dark Iron Dunkel!
