Rafe's Own

Rafe's Own is a Wylandrian non-alcoholic beer made with the spice blankenroot and the herb laurelship. Developed in 71 N.E. by human brewmaster Rafe Elkoniak Sr., it is the Iskandera's most popular non-alcoholic beer and has amassed great levels of popularity in the Independent Wildlands. The recipe has not changed since its creation and continues to be served in its signature longneck bottle. It is the flagship product of the Rafe's Own Brewing Company headquartered in Utra-Zimac, Wylandria.
== History ==
Founded by Rafe Elkoniak Sr. in 71 N.E. the project to create a brewing company was found after Elkoniak had caught himself rifling through old family documents. In his search for the truth about his lineage, he found several of his great-grandfather's journals which were written during the Wylandrian Empire's invasion of the Fraterrijk. In them his great-grandfather had written down memories of himself as a young child making alcohol in the woods with his father (Elkoniak's great-great-grandfather). In the journals, Elkoniak's great-grandfather had professed a want to start up a brewery after retiring from the military. An action that he would never take.
Having discovered his great-grandfather's love for brewing, Elkoniak decided to begin an excursion into the alchemical art of alcohol manufacturing. In his attempts, he could never seem to get the brew exactly the way that his great-grandfather had described it in his writings. It was never quite as strong, and never quite as sweet. He sought inspiration in his old familial land near the woodlands of Utra-Zimac. There he found blankenroot and laurelship plants, and decided to add these to his blends.
Much to his joy, his first batch of Rafe's Own was a major success with the local townspeople. Elkoniak himself was a teetotalist and refused to consume his own product. Until, he had discovered a way to dilute the alcohol enough so that it was less than 1% of the brew (less alcoholic than a fermented tea). With the sheer lack of non-alcoholic brews in the world, and with the excellent flavor that his brew had, he was able to start a small empire of non-alcoholic beverages, and pass the business onto his son Rafe Jr., who heads the company today.
