Origins
Stories of Beerserkers are as old as beer itself. Tales of heroes and heroines that forgot about their patrons in a bout of alcoholic ecstasy. Whispers of warriors so deprived of alcohol on their AA meetings that at the barest of mentions of beer they go into uncontrollable rage.
The most well documented story tells about beer brewer which devotion to beer ran so deeply that he denounced all gods except Beer. In punishement god of parties, Dionysus, chased him away from his brewhouses and he forbade him making his own beer. Lost brewer couldn't take separation from his beloved liquor. He swore vengance upon Dionysus and all who drink beer. He became first beer-seeking warrior whose only ambition was to rob beer-drinkers of their liquid estates.
