The Nightshade Brewery in Middleshade, a district of Ironfire, which is available in versions for 5E and Pathfinder, brews and sells drinks made from or using mushrooms and other fungi. Here are ten mushroom-based drinks that characters could buy.
Appletouch: Though not made directly with apples, this brew has a taste very similar to that of cider. During the brewing process, whilst the mushrooms are fermenting, pieces of apple are added to the barrel, which are strained out when the drink is tapped, leading to a taste that is surprisingly similar to cider.
Black Dragon: A thick, treacly porter that’s been made from large, black, night-loving mushrooms, drinking this feels almost like eating a meal, with some even claiming that Black Dragon isn’t drunk, it’s eaten. Few can manage more than a few pints of this, and it’s rarely sold with food as it tends to fill the drinker up too much.
Fireball Ale: In most ways this is a typical beer, for a mushroom-based beer anyway. What makes it different is the spices that have been added to the drink. The spices both dye the beer a fiery red colour, they also make it spicier than many can cope with; sometimes people will dare each other to drink it.
Headbanger: Distilled from mushrooms in a manner not dissimilar to how vodka is made, this drink is repeatedly strained to get it as clear as possible and has a very high alcohol content, thanks to most of the excess being skimmed off during the distillation and straining. It’s also notorious for the intense headaches that those who overindulge suffer.
Magenta Pale: Something of an experiment by the brewery, this is an attempt to make a drink similar to wine in colour and flavour, only made from mushrooms. At the moment, this hasn’t been a huge success, and most purchasers of the drink are cooks buying it to use in cooking, as it’s considered an excellent cooking drink though at best an adequate one for drinking.
Mystery: This drink is blended from a number of different varieties of the brews produced. One batch of the drink never quite tastes the same as the next due to this, as the constituent drinks always tend to differ slightly, and when blended together these differences become more noticeable.
Nightshade Green: This mushroom ale indeed has a green tinge to its colour, thanks to the herbs that have been added to it. The taste isn’t for everyone, and it’s often touted as being more of a medicinal drink with the herbs aiding many ailments, rather than a recreational one. The brewery makes no claims about Green having any healing properties.
Sweet Dreams: This curiously-coloured ale with a blue tinge to it is brewed from some mushrooms that have hallucinogenic properties. Though the fermentation process has reduced much of the effect, the ale is renowned for giving the drinker strange dreams which some consider to be prophetic in nature.
Throatbiter: This dark ale is brewed from poisonous mushrooms, so a great deal of care goes into the brewing process, even though the mushrooms aren’t truly deadly. The drink has a slight numbing sensation when drunk, primarily affecting the tongue.
Tonguetickler: Mo-one outside the brewery knows precisely how this drink is made, because it’s incredibly effervescent. Most suspect that some kind of alchemical means is used to add all the bubbles to the beer, as it doesn’t seem possible for it to be solely a product of the fermentation process. The fizziness can make the brew feel weird on the tongue.

10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Pacific Rim
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard about Japan. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
Fujiwara is one of the biggest banks in Japan and beyond, and it’s rumoured that recently they have been financing the accumulation of shares in foreign megacorps by Japanese companies, or perhaps on their own behalf. This is increasing the influence that Japan has over the world’s markets.
It’s rumoured that Japanese megacorps are “encouraging” their employees to vote for specific candidates for the Diet, and most suspect that’s because such candidates are completely owned by the corps in question, allowing them to increase their power over the government.
Jinboku Tenno, the 128th, is the current reigning Emperor of Japan, and because she is barely a teenager, she has a Regent, her cousin, Kazuraki-no-Miya Kunihito. There are rumours that the Regent would prefer if Jinboku Tenno never became Emperor, leaving them in charge, and giving the Arasaka great sway over Japan’s leadership.
Kiroshi has a joint design firm with Kenjiri in orbit. It’s rumoured that recently there have been attempts to steal designs from the joint firm, and that as a result the two companies have tightened up security a lot, already higher thanks to being in orbit.
Monoblades are, in theory, only used in Japan as industrial equipment, with only a few exceptions. It’s rumoured that street gangs have started stealing industrial blades in order to reshape them into weapons to use in combat which, although clearly improvised, are still deadly.
The current reigning Emperor of Japan, Jinboku Tenno, is the only linear descendant of the House of Tenno. Given that she’s young, she has no heirs as yet, and it’s rumoured that jockeying is going on amongst those most likely to inherit if she dies without an heir. Should one of the potential emperors gain enough backing, it may well be that Jinboku Tenno’s days would become numbered.
The Diet-appointed Minsters of Japan have little idea as to what’s going on in their own Ministries, and it’s rumoured that some are trying to change that. However, given the power of the Ministries, and connections to corps who are perfectly happy with the current order, such attempts are likely doomed to fail.
The goal of the Imperial Household in Japan is to make the Tenno family a form of public entertainment and propagate Imperial history, which may be lacking in truth. Given that their duties are similar to those of the managers of a media corp, it’s rumoured that the Imperial Household is starting to spread into such.
The Japanese are impressed by a good, heroic tragic death, and this seems to be the end game of many gangers and cyberpunks who battle the System. Some have even claimed that many of these are actually set in place by the powers that be, intended to make much sound and fury without ever achieving anything of note.
With the current Emperor of Japan, Jinboku Tenno, being the only linear descendant of the house of Tenno, there is pressure on her to have children as soon as possible. That time is not yet, given that she inherited the throne at only 13, but it’s said that machinations are already underway to find a consort for her as soon as she is of age.
