Other towns, cities and countries

Considering the possibility of starting my own little MK story, can anyone suggest an existing place in the MK world where there may be laws against, or a guild jealously controlling brewing of alcohol (even against home microbrewing)? If not, I'd just have to make one up like others have with their own origins.

Feel free to hijack the thread for other places, traditions, laws, etc.

I sincerely doubt that any town or city in a medieval-like setting would have something like a Dry Law.

Back then alcohol kept most men (specially armed forces or militia) at bay and satisfied, or so I always thought.

This of course doesn't mean you can't make a city with such restrictions, or as you said a guild or faction controlling the brewing of ingest of alcohol for certain reasons. It's just that it's not something that most would have tried or expected to happen, heh.

I have to concur with Pontos. In fact, in many European countries, they obtained a lot of their nutrition through their beer.

There could be religious occasions when they abstain, but I don't think there would be any dry towns.

So this brings my question back to guilds or such. Does anyone suggest any particular previously mentioned locations that may have brewing jealously controlled by a guild? Or would I just have to make (or pick) one myself? The mention early in the series of a weaving guild destroying improved looms (and their creator? Or was it his whole town?) to protect their business inspired (in part) this line of thought, and family history linked it to brewing.
