Notes

During the age of imperialism, England was in the midst of searching for new methods carrying their beer avoiding spoilage whilst in transit. Admiral Whitbeard, known for his love for ale, was dining with the Royal Family and speaking of a secret development in wonderful floral hop aromas through dry hopping. The intrigued Royal Family financed a voyage sending Admiral Whitbeard east though the Mediterranean in search of a hop that would enchant even the very nemesis of beer lovers. Along his way he was seduced by Calypso. like many of seafarer before, he fell into the nymphs trap, was swindled into acts of barratry, and destroyed the ship under her spell. The King of England came to know of this and funded for a search and rescue in coordination with the royal navy. While scavenging through the wreckage they discovered the new hop Calypso used to seduce Admiral Whitbeard.
