Zip opens a place. It has a door, a counter, a cellar, and a name painted on the step: THE DOORSTEP. It is the first brewhouse in Veridia with a human behind the counter, and the only one where the drinks are poured before the proof is checked.

The house rules are painted next to the name, because a barback who has cleaned up after a zerganon zegladoid knows what happens without rules.

The keg goes into the cellar and the cellar gets zipped for the season. While it is zipped nobody can tap the keg, not the regulars, not the robe, not Zip. Only the tips come up the stairs. Zip tells people this at the counter, and people in Veridia, who trust nothing they cannot prove, go and check, and come back, and stay.
