the Crofts Arms Shore Hills [32,59] the Flagg Monument Gaye Towers Club Chalderwood the Colesworthy Monument the Crofts Arms the Zeally Arms Naisbitt Auto Repair (Brooksville) Kippins Row Fire Station (Brooksville) Dodimead Bank (Brooksville) Basic Info: A pub or bar, not an armoury. Beer and wine can be found inside, along with mobile phones and newspapers. One can also occasionally find shotguns. Pubs have no internal descriptions, apart from "...an abandoned pub." Arms can be barricaded normally.

Welcome to the Crofts

The pub's door lays wide open, and the sound of a damaged radio crackles an old rock song. You can hear loud groans covering the music, and the chiming of several glasses. Surprisingly the place is not ransacked, and no blood-soaked bodies seem to be laying around.

As you peer inside, you can see a good bunch of zombies across the room, some relaxing in sofas with pints at hand, others vigorously chatting at the counter, blend of death rattles echoing in the vast building. You notice no signs of aggressiveness, and the many art pieces and stuffed animals decorating the room remain untouched. Logs are burning in the fireplace, creating dancing shadows in the pub. It maintains a warm atmosphere into the room, despite the open door.

A sign has been hung near the entrance. Large letters read : "Welcome to the Crofts Arms, the Zeally's zombie counterpart!", followed by a serie of explanations :

"This is a no cades pub welcoming zombified persons in a warm & cosy atmosphere. A place to give shelter to by-passing zombies, wether they're cold or thirsty. Humans are also tolerated, but they must decently behave.

Due to its unique kind, the Crofts will regularly hold meetings between human and zombies. It can be use by opposing group leaders to meet. Consider it as a center to discuss zombie VS human matters, and to develop the harmony between these two kinds.

However we don't want this place to become OK Corral, so please observe the following rules while chilling out in the pub :

- everybody's allowed inside, wether zombie or human,

- no violence tolerated, even towards your own kind (so please grab a lunch outside before you step in),

- please do not damage the furniture,

- do not break the genny, for the sake of cool beer and music. "

If you want more informations about the Crofts, or discuss any matter about it please drop a note in the Zeallys forum!

An average customer of the Crofts

Not drunk is he who from the floor can rise again and drink some more. - Old English field sobriety test

Our fine selection of ales

- Unibroue Terrible : Very deep brown with a ruby cast and a reddish manilla head. Vibrant aromas of sour cherry creme brulee, coriander and fennel follow through on a round, satiny entry to a dry-yet-fruity-but-still-dry-medium-full-south-western body with waves of dried fruits and praline flavor. Finishes with a long palate stimulating fade with flourishes of pepper and hints of savory dried meat accents. A powerful, full throttled Belgian to enjoy in small doses with crispy fingers.

- Bräu-Weisse Dead Private : Deep cloudy copper mahogany color. Aromas of red hair, candle wax, toffee, dried cheek. Finishes with a long, chewy singed nut, earthy hop, and lush burnt flesh accented fade. A classic.

- Unibroue La Fin du Monde : Slightly hazy golden amber color with a fine mousse. Aromas of toasted muffin, poached egg, sautéed spinach and peach jam are reminiscent of Eggs Florentine and follow through on a round, foamy entry to a dryish medium-full body with tangy spiced orange, honeyed apple and pear skin, and creme brulee crust notes. Finishes with wave of alcohol, baguette, and earthy hop flavors. A big, delicious food centric beer that tastes like a whole Sunday meal, to remind you of the human delicacies. A souvenir of your pre-zombie condition.

- Rogue Ales Double Dead Guy : Cloudy bright mahogany color with an ultra fine blanket of mousse. Aromas of peanut shells, candied apricot, cocoa and earth follow through on a round, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity full body with clay, brown sugar, and peppery spice notes. Finishes with a long, warming mineral, pine cone, and dried citrus fade. Usually appreciated in apéritif with a couple of pickled eyes.

- St. Bernardus Brouwerij St. Bernardus ABT 12 : Burnished dark red color. Yeasty dough, dark caramel, nut fudge, and mild cinnamon aromas. A smooth silky entry leads to a chewy, fruity sweet medium-to full-bodied palate with raisin compote, toasted nuts, peppery spice, molasses, and toffee flavors. Finishes with a long, chocolate covered lemon peel, and spice fade. Rumours tells that priest blood is added at the brewing stage to bring its specific aroma.

The bar's specials

- A large choice of Gins / G!ns is available at the counter. Ask the barmaid for your favorite one, on the rocks or embellished with a slice of lime.

- Cocktail of the month is currently the Bloody Mary / Braag Marrah, spiced up with a dried finger instead of the traditional celery stick.
