| - Tarisian ale was a potent alcoholic beverage that originated on the heavily-populated planet of Taris. Brewed from a wide variety of ingredients, the kicker came from the "special gland" of a tach; this gland, when processed into a fine powder, put the oomph into the ale. When Taris went up in smoke, the beverage which bore its name became very rare and highly prized. Mission Vao's brother, Griff, attempted to cash in on the demand by synthesizing the main ingredient in order to produce it in mass quantities. After his rescue from the Sand People of Tatooine, he persuaded Revan to procure some tach from Kashyyyk for this purpose. But, Griff being Griff, he FUBARed the recipe, and beat feet before Revan and the Exchange could break his legs.
- Tarisian ale was an extremely strong alcoholic beverage brewed on Taris. It was one of the planet's main exports. The ale was made from the glands of a tach, and because of the need for tach gland, there were substantial imports of tach glands from Kashyyyk. Consuming just one was enough to intoxicate, or even incapacitate, inexperienced drinkers or even experienced drinkers who were having their first Tarisian ale. Perhaps for that reason, it was popular amongst the Sith troops who occupied Taris during the Jedi Civil War. The drink ceased to be produced after the planetary bombardment of Taris in 3956 BBY, due to the fact that few off-worlders knew the secret of how to make it, although Griff Vao claimed to have the recipe, and hoped to monopolize the drink after Taris was destroyed. Many of the Sith that purchased this drink may have used it as a way to forget the pressures of Sith life at the barracks in the Tarisian military base which was described as "boring" by several of the Sith stationed there. By the year 40 ABY, Tarisian ale was served at the Horizon Hotel in the Upper City. Patrons, such as the veteran Mandalorian soldier Goran Beviin, could order mugs of Tarisian ale at the hotel bar, in addition to bowls of deep-fried coin-crabs.
