Cerveza was traded to the Canada Moist Talkers in exchange for Richmond Harrison during the Season 16 elections via the Moist Talkers' Equivalent Exchange will. Due to the Crabs' Carcinization mod, Cerveza briefly played for the team during Days 16 and 61 of the season.

Biographical Information

Alston Cerveza is a hitter for the Philly Pies and heir to the Sir Veza Brewing Company. A true gentleman, Cerveza strikes a dapper figure on the Blaseball field with his luscious mustache, elegant top hat, and signature beer bottle cravat. He is always accompanied by his pet ferret Hops, who has his own matching miniature top hat and mustache. When this pair of rabblerousing men of leisure find themselves in a particularly tough spot they often stroke their mustaches in synch as they plan out their next move. Cerveza's clothes are always impeccably tailored, with nary a spot on them.

Rumor has it that Cerveza is set to be the star on the next season of the hit blaseball dating show The Blachelor.

Personal Life

Cerveza lost his parents at a young age when they perished in a mysterious fire at the Sir Veza Brewery. Rumor has it the fire was started by the Llynglyn brewing company, a criminal front operating out of Pennsylvania Welsh Country. The Llynglyn company wants to get their hands on the secret recipe for Sir Veza — a remarkable brew that is the key ingredient in enacting Enhanced Party Time. The only copy of the recipe is tattooed on Cerveza's back.

Ever since the fire, Cerveza and Hops have been on the run from the Llynglyn agents. Their days are full of near misses in Budapest hotels, fisticuffs on top of trains, and car chases through the streets of Center City. Through a mix of skill, luck, and guile, the ferrety gentleman and gentlemanly ferret have always managed to stay one step of their dastardly foes.

Recently the pair have taken to traveling through time on a coal-powered cogwork gyrocopter of Hops's design. Who knows where their adventures will take them next?

Career

The Philly Pies were on the verge of bankruptcy after Forrest Bookbaby's mismanagement of the team's finances. At a team manager's meeting to discuss ways to remedy the situation, Cerveza crashed through the window on his gyrocopter and tossed a briefcase full of money on the table. "Gentleman," said Cerveza, dusting shards of glass off his cravat. "It seems like you have a new team sponsor."

Since then, Cerveza has joined the team as a hitter to fill out the roster. Despite being on the run from Welsh assassins, he has never missed a game. Flans have started looking forward to seeing Cerveza's last minute entrances onto the field, from parachuting out of ninja filled blimps to riding in on space whales.

Joining the Moist Talkers

During Season 6, the Llynglyn brewing company's threats grew in desperation, and Cerveza grew concerned for his team. Cerveza offered to duel the CEO of Llynglyn for the rights to the Sir Veza Brewing fortune, but due to legal issues the duel was to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, as Maritime Law is 90% about how duels are to be conducted. However, when the two gentlemen arrived in Halifax, Cerveza revealed his duel to be a ruse, as he explained that Sir Veza Brewing's Canadian subsidiary, Mole & Sons brewing, was completing a hostile takeover of Llynglyn brewing as they spoke. This buyout caused Mole & Sons to become larger than Sir Veza brewing, which under Canadian law made it the new parent company, forcing Cerveza to stay in Canada to oversee the company. After the hostile takeover was complete, a fraction of the surviving Welsh mob pursued Cerveza into Canada, where they setup shop as maple syrup pirates.

Cerveza has claimed that he acclimated quite quickly to being part of the Moist Talkers: "Sure they spit a lot but apparently here it's an act of endearment." Cerveza had a short lived friendship with Elijah Bates where the two bonded over their shared appreciation of the arts. After Bates's incineration, Cerveza stated "I didn’t know Bates for very long, but he certainly was a gentleman with excellent taste in the finer things." After a short ceremony, Eizabeth Elliott bequeathed Cerveza her brother's signature ascot and his signed copy of the Dlisney Vault Collection Hamilton DVD, which currently resides on Cerveza's mantle.

Despite still being pursued by the Welsh Mob, Cerveza has made time to truly embrace his new Canadian situation. Looking for some way to further dodge his pursuers, Cerveza claims to have had an epiphany and decided that a career in politics was the most prudent option. Starting in Season 10, Cerveza began his campaign for the position of Canadian President Minister (PM), a position that at the time did not exist.

Adopting the Canadian persona "Anthoine Servèse", Cerveza began throwing fliers into the stands while running the between bases during Blaseball matches. One of the collected fliers detailed a politcal platform based around "maple syrup, beavers and 'whichever ice sport you people like'." Running unopposed, Cerveza achieved an unsurprising landslide victory, but surprisingly, due to the amount of support he was able to rapidly accumulate, the Canadian federal government retroactively created the position for him, claiming "It simply would have been rude not to."

When not playing Blaseball, Cerveza adopts his PM role, donning a pair of unassuming glasses and a vocal opposition to spirits of any kind. Despite his new political responsibilities, Cerveza still continues to uphold his belief that "one must always have an escape plan" and has set up multiple alternate exits out of Gleek Arena which can be used at a moment's notice.

Trivia

• When playing Blaseball, Cerveza's unassuming glasses are worn by Hops. When asked if this means that Hops has his own alternate identity, Hops refused to comment.
