When you read about the legend that is Count Drakul, you would be very much excused if you find this aristocratic vampire to be a bit of a blood thirsty monster. Because in all honesty he is. He is however also a somewhat lonely nobleman, sitting there alone in an almost empty castle surrounded by only farmland with the odd village full of nothing but Transylvanian peasants. And even vampires can get fed up with only plain and dull peasant blood. So, often Dracula couldn’t be bothered going on a blood sucking spree, as it simply wasn’t worth it. But in the village of Apahida, a little further away, lived a young and handsome brewer who had specialized in rich, nutritious Imperial Stouts which he would come and sell by the door of the castle. And Drakul had developed a certain craving for these tasty, strong beers to a degree where he almost found them more delicious than blood. Almost. But the count struggled. Because this young brewer also had the most attractive and pale neck that Drakul had ever seen. But if he took the bite, his supply of tasty, strong beer would vanish. Oh the dilemma, what to do?? Then the door bell rang…
