Big Steep Fermentables
A brewery and cellar cut into the rock, for wine, beer and kombucha, and everything in it is brewed and fermented here. Try our house styles. Every one of them comes alcohol-free, and that pour is always the first one on the card.
Try our house styles
Every house style comes as two pours, and each one says how strong it is before you take it. The alcohol-free pour comes first and is the same size, because it is not the lesser one.
HOW LOUD DO YOU WANT IT?
Starts wherever your device says. Nothing moves, flashes, or plays until you say so.

Somebody else’s cellars, to leave on
Long, quiet videos of other people’s cellars, and a bar and a tavern, picked by Ryan, in his order, to have running while you are down here. They are not this cellar: there are barrels, wood and fires in them, and none of that is down here. Each one plays where it hangs on the rack, or goes up on the screen in the rock with the button under it. Every button says how long it runs before you press it, and nothing loads from YouTube until you do. One of them only plays on YouTube, because its channel has switched off showing it on other sites, so it is a door out rather than a screen. The titles are their makers’, as they wrote them.
The screen in the rock. Nothing shows on it. Any video on the rack can go up here with the button under it, and nothing loads until you press one.

What the strengths mean
- A percentage is how much of the drink is alcohol, by volume. It is on every pour, before you take it, the way every play button in this street’s rooms says how long it runs before you press it.
- Alcohol-free, for a beer or a wine, means under 0.05%. That is the same drink with the alcohol taken out after it was made, and a brewed drink with the alcohol taken out can keep the faintest trace of it. If you need none at all, the kombucha’s alcohol-free pours have none.
- Kombucha is never quite zero, and ours says so. It is fermented, so there is always a little alcohol in it, and how much varies from one batch to the next. So its fermented pour gives the most it can be, under 0.5%, rather than a number that would be wrong half the time. Its alcohol-free pour is the same tea and fruit, not fermented.
House rules
- Nobody here asks why you are not drinking, or whether you are sure, or whether you want to try a little of the other one.
- Nothing here counts how many you have had. No rounds, no games, nobody keeping up with anybody.
- The pours with alcohol in them are for adults. Everything else in the cellar is for everybody.
- Nothing here is good for you, and nothing is bad for you either. None of it is a remedy or a supplement, kombucha included. It is something to drink.
- The vessels are glass and steel on bare rock, lit from behind, so the light comes through the drink. There is no wood in here.
The house styles, their names and every word about them are ours. The cellar videos are their makers’, on their own channels, and none of them is affiliated with Stimpunks. Credits are in the liner notes.
Job marker — a glass carboy standing on the cellar floor
You have found a job marker. The Adventurer’s Guild is a shopfront on the street, and it posts jobs that send you round these rooms. Take the code below to its board and that job is done. Nothing here is scored, nothing expires, and one is a perfectly good number of jobs to do.
The job: The cellar at the top of the lift
Before the code: Every house style in Big Steep comes as two pours. Which pour always comes first?
Hint 1
It is in the sentence in bold just under Try our house styles.
Hint 2
Look at the two boxes under any house style, and read the left one.
Last hint
The one without.
Give me the answer
The answer is The alcohol-free one. The alcohol-free one, and at the same size as the other, because it is not the lesser pour. Many people do not drink, for all kinds of reasons and for none, and a cellar that listed that pour second or smaller would be telling them they were an afterthought. The room's own tool refuses a house style whose first pour has alcohol in it.
Taking the answer is a real way through this, not a lesser one. Nothing is watching and nothing is written down.
