Lothal Spicebrew, also known simply as spicebrew or spice brew was a tan alcoholic beverage topped with foam served at the cantina Old Jho's Pit Stop in the outpost Jhothal on the planet Lothal. It was a signature drink for the bar's owner, Jho, giving the Ithorian his legendary status. A Rodian known as Tsoklo drank a cup of spicebrew on the fifteenth annual Empire Day, a celebration of the Galactic Empire's founding in the year 19 BBY. Spicebrew was also referenced in a metaphor used by the bounty hunter Dengar in 3 ABY.
The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs also made Lothal Spicebrew using Jho's recipe after a visit to the Ithorian's cantina sometime after he was executed by the Empire for assisting a group of suspected rebels. Tuggs included Jho's recipe for the beverage in his cookbook titled The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook in 34 ABY.
