Drinks at Redwall Abbey are mainly brewed by a Cellarmaster, usually a hedgehog, although the position holder has been known to be a mole or an otter.

Strawberry Cordial
Strawberry Cordial, also sometimes called Strawberry Fizz, is strawberry-flavored drink mentioned in almost all the Redwall books. It is a favorite among Dibbuns because of its sweet flavor and fizzy consistency. Strawberry Cordial must be strained before being served in order to maintain its clear, slightly colored aspect. It is usually served very cold.

This beverage is a staple at every feast, especially Nameday. In Taggerung, it was served to "Lord and Lady Strawberry", the winners of the Wall Race.

October Ale
October Ale, also called October Nutbrown Ale, is characterized by its dark brown color and generous foam. It is kept in barrels, and requires much attention, regular tapping and frequent tasting. It's been made in Mossflower Woods since before Redwall Abbey was built, while Kotir and Verdauga Greeneyes still ruled over the land.

As its name indicates, October Ale is squeezed, brewed, and fermented in Autumn. Its brewing is the pride and guarded secret of the Abbey Cellarkeepers and the Spike and Quill families in particular, have reputed expertise in this craft.

Buttercup 'n' Honey Cordial
Buttercup 'n' Honey Cordial is a sweet drink made by Gabriel Quill. Its bubbly consistency makes it a favorite among Dibbuns.

Cup o' Cheer
Cup o' Cheer, featured only in Pearls of Lutra, is an extremely fizzy wine with a very sweet flavor. It was brewed and invented by Ambrose Spike during the Winter of the Deepest Snow and was made of rhubarb harvested shortly before the snow fell, mixed with honey.

Nutbrown Beer
Nutbrown Beer is a nutty beer quite popular among Redwallers. Basil Stag Hare and Ambrose Spike were known to get tipsy drinking it.

Apple Cider
Apple Cider is generally drunk hot in the winter.
