Beer is an alcoholic drink originating on Earth.

Background[edit | edit source]

Beer is one of, if not indeed the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world. It is made by brewing various cereal grains, most prominently: wheat, barley, and hop. It comes in different flavours and strengths, its colour varies from pale-yellow to dark-brown. It is the third most popular drink on Earth after water and tea, and the most popular alcoholic drink overall. It is generally served cold, although some varieties are served at room temperature or even hot.

In the series[edit | edit source]

In Star Wreck beer is the drink of choice of the Kickstart's crew, and P-Fleet ships are known to be stocked with it. In Star Wreck 2: The Old Shit it was used to cool down Kickstart's targeting computer in the heat of battle, and in Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning it was used to attack the Excavator, among other examples. Normally, however, beer is consumed recreationally, as can be seen in Star Wreck V: Lost Contact, and in the first act of 'In the Pirkinning'.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • In 'The Old Shit' beer was kept in the Kickstart's Aft-10 lounge.
  • In 'In the Pirkinning' a crate of beer was transported from CPP Kalinka to CPP Kickstart as per Pirk's orders. It was then loaded into the ship's light ball bay and shot at the Excavator. As it later turned out, Pirk ordered that the Kalinka's light balls be transported instead, but Captain Fukov misunderstood him. Nonetheless, the beer managed to damage the Excavator's systems, causing it to short-fuse, saving the Kickstart from destruction.
