The Church of the Joyful Brewer, the Fellowship of the Tankard, is a warm institution given to joy, hospitality, and good company. Its hierarchy is simple, and members gather to celebrate, help those in need, and build community over shared meals.

The Grand Brewmaster - spiritual leader and figurehead, known for skill at the brew.
High Brewers - senior clergy over regional gatherings and large celebrations.
Mallet Bearers - local clergy who run rituals and protect gatherings.
Tankard Keepers - lay members who manage the temple breweries and organize feasts.

The First Pour - the day's first tankard poured out in thanks.
The Feast of Fellowship - communal temple meals for sharing food, drink, and stories.
The Blessing of the Brew - new batches blessed for quality and in honor of his gift of creation.
The Mallet's Strike - a ceremonial mallet struck against a keg to open a festival.

Brew fine ales, the sign of the joy and abundance the faith shares.
Welcome travelers and see that nobody goes hungry or thirsty.
Guard gatherings, settle disputes, and keep the peace at feasts and festivals.

Welcoming spaces that mostly double as breweries and taverns, built around a Great Hall for feasts, a Brewer's Forge for the craft, and the Sacred Keg, a carved barrel of abundance.

The Fellowship draws people together in generosity, and its temples are gathering points for festivals, markets, and relief efforts. Its teachings encourage kindness over greed, and it is beloved in many regions. Critics call it indulgent; its followers answer that celebrating life's victories is a sacred act.
