Please make the Fresh bonus from drinking speciality drinks (e.g. yarrow beer, fresh mead) apply whenever it's drank at a tavern, rather than just a short duration after crafting it.
If the team feels strongly that it would reduce RP, then at least consider swapping the Fresh bonus from stat improvements and the duration (i.e. Fresh makes it last longer, drinking in tavern increases potency).
Currently Herbalism is the only Craft that has a direct PvP bonus by being able to craft speciality drinks and keeping them fresh regularly - likely the reason why herbalism has become a very popular craft, beyond the easy supply to healing potions.
