S.Phillips does beer (boy, does he do beer...):

Best argument I heard for distillation since... well, my last one, really.

I doubt the Varmandi are major offenders in the cider-brweing business: after all they ceded the "apple" valley to another clan, and were never exactly the Life-Aspected in the first place... Lowland Sartar won't get at all impressively cold in the winter, so I think you'll find Applejack or similarly strengthened booze where it's colder anyway, or where they worship Valind or Inora significantly (same places, in all likelyhood).

One could always kludge that allying extends the flutterby's lifespan, or more sensibly, that the spirit "naturally" moves from one generation to the next in an Ecologically Pleasing fashion. If it gets stepped on, though, you're still outta luck.

Not all hummingbirds drink nectar, but for those that do (the most obvious choice for CA allies, as has been observed), why not just humf round a jar of honey, or something, and get them to stick their pointy beaks in that every so often? Much more convenient.

You don't have to be crazy to be a Healer, but...

Clearly a long-period manic-depressive.

Last I heard, you were trying to clear it with She Who Waits, no? ;-)
