This past weekend it was my honor to pass along the role of Atlantia’s Royal Brewer to Lord Ciaran (David Ciaran Gunter) at our Kingdom Arts and Sciences Festival. Ciaran’s works were judged with the kind aid of King Cuan, His Highness Anton, and our KMOAS Lady Marion le Red, along side two other fantastic…

Royal Brewer 2016
Vivant the entrants in this year’s Royal Brewer competition! Lord Jaume organized early and organized well. He published the Royal Brewer competition requirements, as one does if one is the current Royal Brewer and Kingdom Arts and Sciences is coming up. He also read Kingdom law (!) to find that the judges are supposed to…
2015 Royal Brewer competition
I am so sorry, everyone, I thought I’d published this back in March. I didn’t remember I’d meant to read it through one more time. Raven’s Cove had done a bang-up job organizing this KASF. It was held at the Mad Boar in Wallace, NC, a beautiful restaurant with meeting rooms, and upstairs our main hall…
A Badge for the Guild
First, a few guidelines: 1. It should be simple. Keep the fancy for personal and household devices. Any brewer should be able to paint this on something. 2. It should evoke Atlantia somehow. I don’t see tying Spike into brewing, despite the Royal Brewer’s badge (which has Spike between two mugs – see the picture…

So, wonder no more; go up and introduce yourself instead. They’ll probably try to give you a beer. Summer 2015: I…

Here are some folks in the Guild you might want to know. You can call on any of them if you have questions about the Guild. Look for someone close to your location for questions about local brewing activity. PHOTOS will be posted as I get them – Sorcha Guildmaster Lord Brynjolf Rauðskegg …
Royal Brewers of Atlantia
For Atlantia’s 30th anniversary, Kingdom Historian Stefan of Cambion encouraged me to gather the list of all the Royal Brewers there had ever been in Atlantia. Our Kingdom Chronicler helped a lot, and I did a lot of newsletter digging and networking to find this list. I can’t guarantee I’ve got the early years exactly…
What is a Royal Brewer?
The Royal Brewer is one of a handful of Kingdom Notables, recognized by the Crown for their accomplishments. In Atlantia, the sitting Royal Brewer hosts next year’s Royal Brewer competition at the annual Kingdom Arts and Sciences event (KASF), unless it was booked at a dry site. In that case the Royal Brewer seeks out an…
