Then how would they ever manage to gather honey from the hive to make
mead? Would they hire Eurmali to harvest honey and thus cause untold

damage to the hive? I think this vow is unrealistic. Rather, I'd say
that minlister initiates vow to serve no brew that discredits the name
of the cult, nor shall they reveal brewing secrets to outsiders. What
are brewing secrets? Probably specialized yeast strains (aka cult
spirits) and extra-special recipes, and maybe even water treatments
to produce soft water from hard. This way everybody can make beer and
ale, but minlistics make the best.
