==Background / Personal history:==
*Grew up with a happy and loving family
*Parents died of old age
*All of the family are professionals - Masons, Carpenters, Blacksmiths. He and his sister are Brewers of decent renown
*The Goldbeards are originally from Cruller and is the site of the family brewery and taphouse "the Stout & Stubbly"
*He uses ever more exotic ingredients in his brews, never being satisfied. As he went further and further afield to find new ingredients and learn new techniques, the level of danger he started to face grew.
*He hired the FBK once upon a time to accompany him on an expedition after finding a batch of hemlock in a particularly tricky mountainous area. Afterwards, having enjoyed the experience, he chose to join FBK while also searching for his ingredients.
*He believes there is nothing that cannot be solved with a good beer and a story. Sometimes however... you need to use your fists.
*Lover of cold environs ("Lager brewing weather" as he calls it)
*During the episode Telenovela Verde, Ailbh learned of the theft of a beer recipe by rival brewer Alexander McJohn. He is also aware his younger sister appears to be infatuated with Alexander despite this theft. He noticed that when Alexander admitted his misgivings, that Fern and Ivy Green also heard the admission, making their benefactor mother Rose Green aware. Ailbh is now in possession of an incredible beer cart following the discussion with Leug. It has a pull out bar which allows beers to slide easily. It has amazing suspension to keep the beer from fizzing over. It has a chiller to keep beer cool.
*He has also discovered his sister Leug is rather taken with Alexander McJohn, the rival brewer, and recently attempted to use a love charm potion from a mystical book The Whispersong to make him fall further in love with her. Drinking Your Feelings.
*After investigating the murder of Armando during The Involuntary Time Detectives, it was discovered that his aunty Antoinette Monteleone killed them
==Things I would like to explore in future episodes:==
*There is rumour of a spectacular copper pot still, possibly magical, which can brew the most amazing spirits. The distil can alter memories, charm, and make people fall in love... so the story goes. He found out more information during Drinking Your Feelings where the still which was last spotted in The Molten Helm - an ancient, ruined dwarven tavern, now buried under a caved-in roof and rubble - however it was not there. Seamus Silverkeeper sent a message that he had a hot lead on this exact still, the same message sent to Leug
*The beer cart (as yet unnamed) out on its first run
*He would like to discover the exact recipe for the Healing Brew recipe he got from Bonaventura Halevy as a thank you for returning his book The Whispersong during Drinking Your Feelings
*Alexander McJohn must pay for his theft of the recipe which turned into LifeBru.
*His sister Leug must not get together with Alexander
==List of adventures:==
* Telenovela Verde. Ailbh discovered Alexander McJohn did steal a recipe from him and spiked the recipe with addictive substances to get patrons to come back for more. He also reconciled with younger sister Leug Goldbeard over the running of the brewery. He is aware she appears to have a crush on Alexander.
* Drinking Your Feelings. Guildmember Rusty's friend Tess Fleetfur was in trouble after being accused of stealing a book she was on her way to go and steal and asked the Kittens to help exonerate her, recover the book and give it to the person who hired her. As the story unfolds, Ailbh discovers his sister is at the centre of it all having infiltrated the Hasty Hands cleaning service and taken the book with the aim of turning Alexander McJohn into more than a friend. The plot was stopped before too much damage was done. Ailbh and friends were each given a thank you from Bonaventura Halevy, a devil in disguise, where Ailbh got an incomplete Healing Brew recipe (The Whisper Song book is always a bit vague about one ingredient, such as the sugar used, and requires some experimentation to find which version of that ingredient works best), which with the use of the still last seen in The Molten Helm, it need not be completed.
* The Involuntary Time Detectives. Worked with Ozob Diputs and Detective Inspector Deviteaux, the sought to solve the murders of husband Arturo Contenza Bilazno De Medici and wife Maria Contenza Bilazno De Medici
* Your Twist Is My Command. Worked with Nugh the Silent and Sadie Duca to sub in for Idrul the Genie and allow them to take a well deserving break from granting wishes to the Niqamui populous. Learned that someone he knew had gained possession of the legendary still he had been seeking.
* Pumpkin Ale. Met up with Ivy again to fulfil a quest to find a replacement for LifeBru, given by Robin Banks. They searched for Todd, Fern's fiancé (former) and also for the missing grain needed to complete the recipe gifted during Drinking Your Feelings.
