Background:
I'm an experienced drinker. 29 years old. 6'2", 245, lift weights 4 times a week.
Situation:
I just built (this afternoon) a new kegerator. Had 5 gallons of Apfelwein in my closet ready to do something with, so I siphoned it into a keg...there was about 3 inches of liquid at the bottom along with the yeast, and being a cheap-ass I couldn't just throw it out!!! Sooo....I started drinking it.
Current State:
I'm on my 5th pint of yeasty, semi-chilled Apfelwein (along with 2 bottles of EdWorts Haus Pale) and I have to tell you, the Apfelwein will dominate you if you're not careful. Not just dominate you, but NINJA dominate you. I didn't see it coming. I started drinking it thinking: "Hmmm...this is a mild, nice change-up from some of the stuff I had been drinking, maybe I'll have a few out of the bottom of this carboy!"
Little did I know that Apfelwein was lying in wait to ambush and destroy me!
Oh I've read the warnings: "Drink a few but have Advil before you go to bed." And, "Apfelwein should be consumed carefully..".
PSHAW, says I!
Now, I'm seeing that warnings were meant to be heeded as I listen to Hank III and wonder at how slowly everything around me is moving!
Take it from me, Apfelwein is delicious...but in a spikey, ninja, STD kind of way. It'll sneak up on you and chop your *$&#)@(*_)!@ off.
