Story
Wrocławski Krasnolod is a dwarf who takes his craft beer very seriously. Perched near the legendary Krasnolod bar, he stands with the assured air of someone who has personally tasted every tap and found them all excellent. Legend among bar regulars holds that if you spot him winking, the evening's best pint is just about to be poured. He arrived with the simple goal of making sure no thirsty wanderer ever passes the door without stepping in.
