Always be cautious which brand of beer you drink.
Close by, I have a night kiosk selling ice cream, beer, and stuff you would crave for after all lights have gone off in the normal stores. And those guys are collector souls with a certain disposition towards different, strange brands of beer. And although I am not a particular beer lover, I’m a curious mind. Hence, I grabbed a bottle showing a large sailing vessel on its label.
This beer was called “Störtebeker”. And the story of Störtebeker, a legendary sailor, is as follows (in a nutshell): He and his men got caught and taken prisoners for something they had not done. Then they were lined up in a row to be beheaded by the hangman one after the other. But Störtebeker, the brave, said: Let me be the first to go, and then let all of my men free whom I will pass running without my head. And so they did – not knowing that Störtebeker might be a descendant of chicken ancestors who could actually ran like hell without his head. Finally, after he had passed half of his men already, some evil guy tripped him up and let him fall on purpose in order to stop the untimely discharge of their prisoners.
So, what would happen if you drank a beer named after this legendary savior of the innocent? Well, it probably depends on how much of it you drink – see for yourself:
After one bottle:
After two bottles:
After three or more bottles:
