No, it's nowhere near too obscure. This is one of the easy ones.
I can even tell you where to taste it "for real" . . . if you're brave enough to break into the cellar of Ed's barn. 
love to all,

Thanks, THO!
Anybody's welcome to answer (e.g. Wooly, Fillow, THO), but I'll work up a second hint in case it's still here tomorrow.  |

Hint #1: Said brew may be easily procured from the Realms' iconic female entrepreneur.
Lemme know if this is is too obscure. ;)
Bitter Black. 'Tis a direct quote from page 127 of Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog, an absolutely essential Realms sourcebook.  |

...And now my next question:
The ranger Thanadar and the bard Arnthiir Windrivv were, under other names, part of a famous adventuring group. What is the name of that group? |

the adventuring company "The Nine" led by Laeral, who still maintains contact with them (2E).
Found in the Seven Sisters sourcebook P.32
I found this one Wooley during your last stumper about Laeral. |

You nailed it. I found that just a few hours ago, while looking up the spell Krash mentioned in another thread.
The next question is yours. |

The Galeb Duhr built the Watchwall in Aglarond for King Brindor, in exchange for possible future assistance.
My question will come later, after a confirmation on my answer, and with some much-needed thought. |

Who is/was Lorrick, what group is he a member of, and what great artifact was he rewarded with and by whom? |

As both a hint and a clarification - it isn't exactly clear if the item is an 'Artifact' as per the D&D rules - I was using the term to describe something more along the lines of a racial relic.
@Fillow - don't forget I also asked who gave him permission to take it. |

Lorrick was a dwarf warrior who was part of the Seekers, an adventuring comapny.
I believe the artifact you speak about is Skysplitter, Thelarn Swifthammer's fabled war axe, a talking axe. The ghost of Thelarn himself rewarded the dwarf with it.
The source is the Players guide to FR - 1993 ; p.29

Lemme tell you I'm hoping that Race is over !
You know, I looked through most of my sourcebooks but found nothing. Now that I read your answer I realize that I would never have been able to beat you on this one.
I don't have that particular tome. I have them all except for that one!!! 
So Congrats Fillow  , well deserved. |

While I can only agree with your first statement
I will keep silent on the latter.

That is indeed the correct answer.
I choose that Tome BECAUSE most scribes forget about it, including myself.
Eagerly awaiting the next question. |

| Saurials? Don't know about sub-races, though... |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

Good question, though, Fillow!
I wonder what's happening to saurials in 4e. Ah, a question for another thread! |

| There was a web enhancement about saurials... I'll refrain from posting the link, though. I don't want to make it too easy. |
