* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': On the Origin of PCs'' provides the page quote and [[Trope Namer|the name]]. Note that he got the best beer you can find in human lands, but when compared to Dwarven ale.... Though the "best beer" comment is probably just standard advertiser hyperbole.
* In ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' Stonewater thinks of [https://web.archive.org/web/20170902122317/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-02-07 human beer] this way. Halflings also think Dwarf beer tastes like "piss water" (Dwarves find Halfling beer "snobby").
* ''[[The Gods of Arr-Kelaan]]'': [[Snake Oil Salesman|Bikk]] tried to [http://www.rmcomics.com/Mirror/GoingHome/?viewDate=20020204 jumpstart a religion]{{Dead link}} for Ronson (God of Alcohol) by impersonating him and giving two soldiers mugs of ale that would always be full when turned upright. But since Bikk doesn't know squat about brewing, the ale was very poor quality. One of the soldiers was able to [http://www.rmcomics.com/Mirror/Current/?viewDate=20100507 start a bar using his mug]{{Dead link}}, since "if it's cheap enough, people will drink anything." Said beer does prevent aging, though. The other soldier started a temple based around his mug, though he had to forbid his followers from drinking any of the "holy ale" to make it believable.
* In one arc of ''[[PvP (webcomic)|Pv P]]'', several characters decide to take up brewing, and make an incredibly horrible-tasting beer, which they market as coffee flavored. Robbie proves to be such an apalling brewmaster that his first attempt produces something with the flavor of a quite excellent lager, but the consistency of soft-serve. They test-market it as "lagurt" in a tube (ala Go-Gurt) for hip young frat boys on the go, and it tests quite well, but Robbie is so bent on making high-class brews instead of profitable trendy fad hooch that he throws a tantrum and gives up on the whole thing.
