Venaarian Cringe-Ale was a specific variety of ale that was offered at the Binary Bar, located on the planet of Venaari. This particular ale possessed a yellow hue and was characterized by its notably bitter flavor. Sienn Sconn, a Human thief, consumed Venaarian Cringe-Ale at the Binary Bar while formulating his scheme to pilfer a swoop bike that was on display. He found the beverage to be costly, and the bitterness induced him to involuntarily shut his eyes; nonetheless, he viewed it as a necessary expense for his past indulgences.
The initial appearance of Venaarian Cringe-Ale occurred in the short story titled One of a kind, penned by Paul Danner. Its original publication was in Star Wars Adventure Journal 5 during 1995, and it was subsequently released as an article on Hyperspace in 2004.
