While that might be the case but the primary concern for an SCA cook is to make
sure that they don't run afoul of our own rules. We can't server alcohol. The
group can't own alcohol to serve. The group isn't allowed to manufacture
alcohol. The group is allowed to incorporate alcohol into a food item where the
alcohol is a normal side ingredient. 

The above is a paraphrase of the society alcohol policy and should be enough to
assist the cooks in not running afoul of the rules.
