lpine Mountain Beer

aron Von Lodge was the head of a small country known as Lilliland near Switzerland. The time was the early 1900s.

The Baron knew that Alpine Mountain Beer was some of the most carefully produced beer in Europe. The fresh crisp Alpine Mountain spring water and the farmers' malted barley and hops were carefully harvested at the proper time. The exact process had many secrets that were handed down from one generation of the brewer's family to the next.

Beer consumption was under firm control. All Lilliland bars opened at noon and closed at midnight. The bars were closed on Sunday. All the patrons had to be 21 years of age to go into a bar and be served. Beer consumption was monitored by the innkeeper. Public drunkenness, or fighting due to being drunk, was kept well under control in Lilliland. An innkeeper could lose his license to serve beer if the patrons were too rowdy and disturbed the people of Lilliland.

Beer was promoted as a social drink for mature, responsible adults to enjoy. Moderation was the rule and that was the way the people of Lilliland liked it.

If there was a fight in a bar, the Baron stepped in and closed the bar for one week. If one of the people fighting was sent to the hospital, the bar was closed for one month. This happened no matter who was to blame. The rights of the customers to an enjoyable time in a Lilliland bar was guaranteed without fear of being involved in any sort of fight. The innkeepers wanted to keep the kind favor of the Baron so they were quick to act to keep things peaceful and quiet while the people enjoyed the warm hospitality of the inns of Lilliland.
