Ever broken or spilled a great beer?

Founder's Devil Dancer. Not surprising though because cutting onions always make me tear up as well

 

Sad for losing the beer or losing your friend?

 

The very first time I had Ten Fidy, I was on my sofa after dispensing the beer into a snifter. I was slightly buzzed, so I thought "I am going to rest this on the sofa cushion while I get up and grab a snack". Needless to say, my movements caused the beer to spill. I was able to enjoy one a week or so later, but I was certainly bummed at the time. I didn't learn my lesson because a couple if weeks ago it happened again, only this time it was a Sam Adams Oktoberfest, so no big loss there.

 

Last night.. At a bottle share celebrating the Charlotte Oktoberfest kick-off I opened a bottle of Dogpatch sour by Almanac. Poured most of it out to friends of course, saved myself a couple ounces that I poured into my ever appropriate plastic cup just before going outside to get a break from the crowd. As soon as I walked out the door my "friend" Larry taps the bottom of my cup as I went to take a sip and spilled most of it down my shirt. I was deeply hurt.

 

This thread is why I use sippy cups.

 

Opened a Zomer at the last BASC release and didn't expect a gusher. Lost probably 4-5 ozs. That's about $20 of beer after shipping! I resisted the urge to lick the table.

 

I spilled a taster of cantillon, and I was so drunk I couldn't tell you what year or beer it was. The guy who poured it for me wanted to cry.

 

Worst for me was when my son came running by the coffee table with his trucks and knocked over my Parabola which thankfully (if you can say that) was only 1/4 full. I was very sad but what can you do... It's a 4 year old.

 

now THAT'S a permanent funeral.

 

I spilled an entire tulip of Fou Foune on my brand new Macbook Pro a few years ago...computer was ruined and the Cantillon was gone. By far my worst spill ever.

 

I have seen plenty of smashed Dark Lord bottles at DLD. People get too drunk and then can't hold on to their bottles. I haven't seen BA variants smashed, but I know it has happened.

 

Yep,
2009 Ivan.
I love that beer.
R.I.P.

 

I was given a bottle of the beer diviner's "got your back" imperial coffee oatmeal stout. Took 2 sips and concluded it's the best coffee stout I ever tasted... hands down... then my 4 year old came by and tipped the whole bottle over

 

so did you make bail that night or the next day?

 

Yes! And it was a doozy. It was a Heady in my favorite Homer Simpson mug. Lost the beer and broke the mug, plus went all over my acoustic guitar. My fault though, should not have had it by my mic stand while playing. Usually keep on a table next to the stage but it was so tasty I wanted it by my side. Doh!!!

 

Yes.

I spilled a Miller Chill, because it was so bad that the beer made me want to cry.

 

Couple years ago, my wife and I had just pulled into my in-law's driveway, arriving just behind my sister-in-law and her kids. We had Charli, our rottweiler/doberman mix with us. As we're getting out of the car, Charli decides it would be a good idea to jump up onto my sister-in-law's 4-year old. I, last bottle of Pure Hoppiness in hand, come to the rescue, dropping the bottle on the concrete in the process. I watched the bottle fall in slow-motion, and angels cried when that bottle smashed into a thousand shards of broken dreams and shattered hopes.

Overly dramatic I guess, but we can't get Alpine beers here, and I do loves me some Pure Hoppiness.

 

Worst for me was a two year old bottle of Bigfoot. I was upset when it happened but I moved on. If it was anything better/ more rare I might have cried.

 

If I had a nickel for every time this has happened and stained my cushion. My couch looks like it belongs in a nursing home...

 

did this exact same thing over the summer except it was Sculpin. Not quite the same but I do indeed feel your pain.
