Ever broken or spilled a great beer?

I spilled 5 gal of fantastic homebrewed Porter that had 2 months of my love and attention after bottling 1 bottle. And sadly, that 1 bottle was damn good. I almost cried at the spill and the tasting.

 

Adoption?

 

I knocked over a full pint glass of chocolate yeti from about 4 feet off the ground. The base of the glass hit the carpet and shot beer all over the place like a erupting volcano. The type of beer that got wasted didn't bother me that much. It was the fact that I had just gotten home from a long day and had to spend the next hour trying to clean everything up. I didn't come to tears but I did cuss myself out.

 

The one that fell into my keyboard. It was at Foothills, sitting at the bar. Still a bad feeling.

 

I drove a zipcar out of state and on the way back, a Cigar City Mango Grove rolled around in the trunk and sprayed out. Was charged a detailing fee.

Ruined a computer with Weyerbacher Heresy.

Had the bottom of a glass break around the base and an entire beer spilled all over me, my couch, and a blanket. So random.

Maybe drinking is having negative consequences. Nah, those are consequences of not drinking that beer.

 

Not my worst, but funny.
My cousin, brother, and I were in the garage drinking & playing cards. I poured each of us glass of 5 y/o St. Sebastiaan Grande Reserve, telling them how much I like that beer when it has some time on it. My cousin, a bit drunk, chugs his share slams his cup on the table announcing that it was good s#!t and stands up bringing the table with him and spilling my brother and my untasted pours. Not a hard beer to get, so no big deal, but always a shame to spill good aged brew.

 

I threw a Westy 12 at my grandmother's tooth. It broke. I was pissed.

They had to change her dress and repose her back in the casket.

Mom was mad.

 

dropped an unopen can Heady on the pavement while bringing to my car. it split open ever so slightly...but enough for it to seep out and force us to open, take a couple sips, and be on our way...without the Heady.

 

I got distracted while pouring a glass of 2008 Darkness and spilled some on the counter.

I did what any good BA would do - I licked it up.

 

RIP

 

So I went to Hair of the Dog the other day and picked up a sixer of Dave, on my way to the car a Griffin swooped down from the sky and grabbed 2 bottles. As I cursed the foul beast for what he had done a bigfoot ran by and snagged another 2 bottles. As I fumbled for my phone so i could snap a pic I dropped the remaining 2 bottles and although they were plastic they did break. And just my luck when I went back in to grab another sixer they were fresh out.

True story

 

Showed up at a release with a bottle of MOAS for a repeat trading partner...was a surprise since he told me he had never had it and really wanted to. At some point the next morning, he told me that he had set it on top of his jacket in his car and when he went to grab his jacket the beer fell on the ground and smashed. Big bummer.

 

Growler of COAST Smoked Porter broke in my fridge somehow... almost drank it out of the door tray, but got tired of sifting out the broken glass.

 

My friend spilled half her Supplication onto my other friend at the RR brewpub the other weekend. I was cracking up/crying so much that we had to order two more.

 

so sad, I'm sorry for your loss

 

Early last year I handed my wife my first sampling of Brooklyn Brown and it slipped out of her hand onto the cold concrete garage floor. Needless to say, it didn't survive the trip. Luckily, I was living in an area where Brooklyn's offerings are frequently served and was able to get some more.

 

Last Feb I got into RR a few minutes before Pliny the Younger ran out for the evening on the first Friday it was offered. I copied the guy in front and got two 10oz pours. While sitting on a stool kinda spread legged, I knocked one of my two onto the floor and it shattered. They ran out before I was able to get a replacement, so I was only able to drink one. I was in a state of shock when it happened. Beat that!

 

That is Alchemist getting back at your for not drinking it out of can !

 

What is so unusual about this thread, is I am physically challenged and a wheelchair user some of the time. And I haven't spilled much beer. And I have an excuse. Keep 'em coming, Gentlemen. I'll grieve with you in the spirit of a BA member.
