Mae became sick and the doctor asked that she take stout to fortify her blood. Kenneth was asked to receive the keg from the brewer when it came. The keg was delivered but Kenneth lost control of it while trying to bring it down to the basement. Eventually the tap broke through and the stout exploded through the hole in a gush that Kenneth could not stop.
