I think beer is beer but they have different names for each type of beer. Different processes produce different 'beers'.

So ale is a kind of beer?

Thanks, marbretherese, and all hail to the OED! So it sounds like ale is sort of ordinary, everyday beer?
Meanwhile, back to my question about the cordial of Imladris?

Evidently my trivia question was so easy that you all would be ashamed to answer it--picking the low hanging fruit! So would somebody just humor me and answer the question so we can move on, please?

I can't find the answer...and besides, I'm trying to start to read
Children of Hurin...I can't be bothered with trivia I can't find.

Hint: they don't actually drink the cordial until they leave Imaladris.

The reviving cordial made by the Elves of Imladris is called miruvor.

OK...enough time has elapsed. It was Halbarad at the Stone of Erech.
Something easier?
What were the two gifts of Galadriel to Aragorn?

Halbarad is one of my favorite characters!
I'll start us off: a scabbard for Anduril.

To long has this thread lay dormant.
The second gift was the Elfstone of the house of Elendil.
