The Golden Goblet

The Golden Goblet (Larau Sabban, Niqal Drudach, Trades Ward (Calimport), Calimport) This was the original tavern the Golden Sands brewery grew from to dominate the Sahar Sabban. Once they outgrew the facilities, they built into the neighboring sabban but retained this site as a tavern. Nearly four decades later, the Golden Goblet is the first of more than 300 taverns across Calimport and all of Calimshan owned and operated through ties to the Golden Sands brewers. This tavern is owned directly by Tassyn el Effyd, though his son-in-law Kaham el Vizhon (N hm F4) is its proprietor and barkeep.

There is at least one Golden Sands affiliated tavern in each sabban across Calimport and more beyond Calimport itself. Aside from the products sold, an affiliated tavern is noted by either having “Golden” or “Sands” in the tavern name in some way. With the support support of the Vyndahla enforcers (for which the brewers pay well) at each location, these taverns gain cut rates on the in-demand Golden Sands brews and drinks, but they cannot sell any other drinks (including their own personal brews or distillations). As the brewery itself dominates Sahar Sabban, the Sands tavern franchises dominate the tavern landscape of Calimport, Almraiven, Manshaka, Teshburl, and Memnon. Despite all this (or perhaps because of it), there is a growing business among black marketeers to provide other ales and wines to the public, especially rarer drinks from outside of Calimshan such as Purple Dragon Ale from Cormyr or the far more rare elven elverquisst wine.
