    Not that bad but, a few days ago I had just grabbed a FIS and a glass and sat down on the couch. I placed the bottle on the coffee table, moved to grab the glass and somehow hit the bottle and lost about half of the beer. I was bummed!

    I had a real hard time getting the cork out of a bottle of Lebleu. I had ended up ripping it piece by piece and finally the bottle cracked. Before I was able to come up with a better coarse of action the top gave way and jumped of the bottle spraying beer. I was able to salvage a glass of this great beer but I had a funky mess to clean up afterward.

    Dropped a bottle of Rogue chocolate stout as I was moving into my new place. Smelled amazing.

    Once saw a guy at a bar fumble a glass of CBS as the bartender was handing it off to him.

    highly recommend not storing them on shelves in an earthquake prone area...floor!

    I had a growler of Sculpin freeze on me at a hotel in San Diego. I went to grab the screw-top out of the fridge and the thing broke right in the middle. Scuplin slushy soaked the carpet. I wonder what the next visitor thought of the smell!

    I had a bottle of Simtra fall out of my RV fridge, shatter and run into the heating ducts on the first day of our trip. I actually enjoyed the smell, just wish I didn't waste the beer!

    Not me personally. But during Dark Lord day 2010, I saw a guy drop an entire case of Dark Lord. Most of the bottles shattered. The crowd erupted in a mix of cheers and jeers. From the look on his face, you'd think he ran over his dog.

    it could have been worse, this was my brother in law and he had some coffee and some backyard in a bag and the bag broke but only one bottle of coffee came out.

    I've seen that happen. Admittedly it was just Kronenbourg Red, but still it must be pretty disheartening to spill so much beer.

    Before I could get a taste? No. Spilled at all yes. Drunk + mud at dark lord day don't mix

    crap, you'd think it was a Monday morning. Wait. It is.
    Pretty sad way to start the week, I've had a couple HT recently, great stuff, never worthy of the drain. It's a sad day people...

    Kicked a half glass of Heady Topper across the room the other day. Bell's snifter was in perfect condition. Heady was all over the place, including my ten month old boy.

    I left a Black Ops in my car overnight a few years ago, it ended up freezing and breaking the bottle. It wasn't even supposed to be that cold out..

    I dropped an entire case of St. Bernardus 12 once. It felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. Also when you break a St. Bernardus 12 it explodes with a lot of force, makes cleanup a little more widespread.

    Dropped a six pack of Jai Alai taking it out of a box I got in trade, one can hit the edge of the fireplace and exploded, I was able to save about 6 ounces and poured it in a pint glass, still delicious
