Ketelaars

The story of Ketel 1

It all started at the eve of a dark November night in 1691, when the battle of good against evil was fought. The sky was as black as the deepest abyss and the earth was like a red river. As the smoke cleared and the sounds of battle slowly died away, the two surviving Roerstokridders captured the souls of the deceased soldiers in a cristal chalice which they then placed at the bottom of a deep cave. As they stood there contemplating their future and the future of the generations still to come, they could never imagine that this cave would turn in to a beautiful spring well from which water would be extracted for generations by a local spirits manufacturer known as the knight Nolet. The manufacturer also owned a Inn called "The dubbele adelaar", named after the legendary battle of good against evil that was fought on those grounds. What he didn't know was that every drop of water extracted from the well contained elements of both good and evil. Then, after 300 years, fate reunited the descendants from the brave Roerstokridders with their ancestors friends...

...but also with their enemies.

It was in 1991 that nakomelingen of the roerstokridders got into contact with the family of knight Nolet again. Not knowing about the legend the roerstokridders, reunited in the fraternity M.H.D. Nondejuke, were just like in the old days still enjoying the rundervreugd. From this moment they could "expand" their rundervreugd with the vicious and delicious liquor Ketel 1. This elixir has since it was introduced in the M.H.D. Nondejuke been the foundation for friendship and happiness. But there are also stories, told late at night, about vicious attacks on the brave knights of Nondejuke. These attacks, like suddenly being thrown to the ground or being punished with amnesia, are thought to be from the enemies still lurking in the shadows. To be able to better control the powerful forces of this elixir, a knight by the name of Ketelbinkie suggested that the M.H.D. Nondejuke should appoint a particularly brave knight, the Ketelaars, to guard the Ketel 1 each year.
