Tapping the barrel with Laimer

Konni can do it: O'zapft is!

Laimer becomes the Zapf king at his second attempt - and a social media star

Is there anything more Bavarian than tapping a wooden barrel of Paulaner Oktoberfest beer? Even among the stars of FC Bayern Munich, only very few are given the honor of tapping such a barrel. One of these chosen few is Konrad Laimer.

In his very first year at Bayern, the officials handed the likeable Austrian this honorable task at the lederhosen shoot. With disastrous consequences: For the beer, for the clothes and for Konrad Laimer. His colleague Thomas Müller and many other players are having a great time with this failed premiere.

But as the saying goes: get up, straighten your crown, move on! In 2024, Konrad Laimer is back at the wooden barrel. Wearing a waterproof leather apron for safety. And he professionally taps the barrel with two strokes. Respect!

The video with the juxtaposition of the two tapping situations on FC Bayern Munich's Instagram channel becomes the most successful reel of the year on this channel. And Konrad Laimer became the historical benchmark for all keg tappers. Cheers.
