There are few things better in this world than beer, which makes “the person who taps the keg” almost as important as the president of the United States. Whereas most hour-to-hour actions by the president don’t really affect your ability to get soused, the person who taps the keg has an almost immediate impact.
Tap the keg perfectly on the first try and the world is a demonstrably happier place. Fuck it up, and man, you really fuck things for everyone
Case in point: this German dude, who not only botches his first attempt by shattering a ceramic mug but then blows his second effort by turning the keg into an unmanned firehose.
Kennt Ihr noch Robin Illmer? Ihn haben wird vor gut 2 Jahren das Video mit den berühmten Bieranstich zu verdanken!. Nun haben wir die Gelegenheit uns zu bedanken! Robin braucht unsere Liks für die Teilnahme an einem Spiel gegen einen Zweitligisten. Das Video hat damals gute 12 Mio Leute erreicht. Also mindestens die hälfte könnte Liken! https://www.facebook.com/ASV.Hamm.Westfalen/photos/a.2192271357536858/2192295124201148?type=3&sfns=xmoWers noch nicht kennt, hier nochmal:Anzapfkurs nicht bestanden.

As the translated caption says, “The beer streets year begins yeah not good.”
Yeah. Not so good.
