 ==== Context & Historical Background ====
-When the [[volunteer_army_of_man|Volunteer Army of Man]] asked Christos Demopoulos for a calorie-dense field drink that wouldn’t spoil on week-long marches, the brewers at Space Drinks repurposed their darkest wort. By bulking it with protein-rich myco-yeast and slow-roasting Atrana barley, they created Orbital Stout—marketed to troops as “A Meal in a Mug.”

 Civilian settlers soon adopted it as a no-cook supper during brutal harvest shifts, while miners in [[firetown|Firetown]] called it “Night-Shift Blanket” for the warm stupor it grants after a hard day.
