Pivo
Pivo (or known as beer, ale, or lager outside of Dalkit 422 System ) is considered a vital resource in the system and might even be considered an essential food group. Made by the Pivo Dwarves on Cuivienen, it uses water mined from nearby asteroids which is said to make this one of the premium alcholic drinks in the system and highly sought after by some connoisseurs throughout the galaxy.
The four essential ingredients are either grown or native to the belt. The hops, barley, and yeast are grown in special domes owned by the Pivo Dwarves. This, plus the water mined from the asteroids are the only ingredients allowed and the process and growth of ingredients is carefully controlled.
Pivo is brewed in large vats, some nearly the size of the asteroids where the vat is located. The level of production control ensures a quality and consistent product, one of the hallmarks of this particular brew. Based on a recipe that goes back centuries, if not millenia, it is carefully protected. While many have tried to reproduce or copy the recipe (trial and error can yield quite close varieties) no one is quite sure what makes this particular brew special, whether it's the attention to detail, ice from the asteroids, careful growing of the other ingredients, or a combination. Some have speculated that the brew is magically enhanced to ensure those who drink it think it's one of the best and go to great lengths to acquire some when possible.
