Good morning Father’s Day knights, do you have a headache? Do you remember we met yesterday…
That’s when the tour of Albrecht, David, Tobias, Alexander, Stefan, Olli, Kai and Cornel started. “We’ve been doing this on Lord’s Day for over ten years,” says David, inviting five bottles of rum. “Always a new motto. Sometimes superheroes, cowboys, rockers or gladiators – this time knights.”
The guys from Treptow know each other from football, and some of them are work colleagues. By the evening, the Alcoholic Knights had made it to the Oberbaumbrücke with the handcart they made themselves (which is also redesigned every time).

The keg of Cola-Rum was then empty and one or the other Molle had been collected on the tour along the route.

That’s how the young knights do it. Older calibers like Paul (78) enjoyed Ascension Day in the beer garden: “A nice glass of beer, heavenly.”

Paul never overdoes it, of course, but he knows the old adage: Lots of water and lots of sleep help against headaches on today’s bridge day.
