NEW BEER STEIN CHARM AVAILABLE

by Hazed

October is traditionally a month celebrated by lovers of fine ales, thanks to the ancient Oktoberfest revelries held in pre-galactic eras in the region of Earth known as Germany. This month, Anton Gallagher has teamed up with a surprising figure: Diesel, the proprieteuse of Chez Diesel on Mars, who is sponsoring his latest charm, a beer stein.

The miniature stein is just big enough to contain what would be a mouthful for an adult human, and it contains real beer, courtesy of Diesel, who has used the latest teleporter technology to hook the stein charms up to a vat of her Diesel's Old Peculiar to ensure that they never run dry.

This collaboration is a surprise because in the past there has been a bitter rivalry between the two figures. Diesel has often allowed a freelance craftsthing to sell special charms in her bar, which Anton Gallagher has claimed breaches his monopoly, on the grounds that he has the sole license to sell items that hang off the special keyrings produced by TenBrane.

But now it appears the two have patched up their differences, perhaps motivated by the fat profit they expect from the sale of these charms which are not only decorative but also functional, and provide great advertizing for Diesel into the bargain.

You can buy a charm from Gallagher's on Earth with 'BUY BEER STEIN'. Once it is in your inventory, 'CLIP BEER STEIN CHARM' will dangle it from your keyring so everyone can see it, and 'RAISE BEER STEIN' will let you drink the mouthful of beer in the stein charm. This will not only be delicious but energy-giving, too.
