Last night I partook in the Delafield Brewhaus Oktoberfeast party and it sure was awesome. It was so awesome in fact that the food overload kept me up all night long as my stomach struggled to churn the soup, salad, steak, scallops, mashed potatoes, cake, and beer that I crammed down my gullet.
I finally was getting some sleep when I heard an incredibly loud noise from the kitchen. I got up, saw that it was 3 in the morning and decided to investigate. What I witnessed when I walked into the kitchen was pure horror. There was a liter of beer EXPLODED all over the place. The carbonation from the secondary fermentation was enough to blow the bottom of the plastic bottle clean off and shoot the beer across the room. I cleaned this up then tried to get back to sleep.
Well, at this point my stomach still hurt and I smelled like stale beer so I was still struggling to sleep at all. I decided that I’d take some Nyquil which finally put me to sleep at about 4:30. The alarm went off two hours later and as I tried to get moving I realized that the Nyquil was hitting me hard. I guess it makes sense as the stuff is supposed to last all night. I was too foggy to even walk so I decided I’d sleep off my delirium and head into work late.
Wow.
