Ever broken or spilled a great beer?

I do that now too...I also cradle them like a baby...lol

 

HA! I don't even consider them great unless i have dropped them twice.

 

6 pack of hopslam in those brown paper bags with the brown hempish yarn handles, handle broke, hopslammed the tile floor in my apartment lobby

 

I lost 2 hop slam's in a matter of 4 minutes. I poured my first one, was walking down the steps and tripped over one of my dog's stupid ropes and fell down the steps. I managed to not spill a single drop until the last step, where the entire beer spilled on me. In anger and despair, I poured my next Hop Slam and without properly looking, put the glass too close to the edge of the table and well..yea. Luckily I had 4 more, but wow that sucked! And I wasn't even inebriated yet.

Also dropped a Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon 30 seconds after purchasing it.

 

Luckily, the only saddening beer-spilling story I have personally involves HopDevil, which I buy in excess. Still sad nonetheless when you spill one of your favorite beers, no matter how common it is.

The most horrifying story I know of, however, is a friend of mine posted a picture on Instagram; he was at a bar in Philly that had just received a limited supply of Pliny the Elder. Naturally, he snapped a photo, posted it online, bragging rights, so on and so forth. About 3 minutes later (according to the timestamps), another picture manifested on his profile... On the floor lied a shattered glass, upon an approximate 12oz. puddle of PtE. The caption simply, "I hadn't even taken a sip..." To his dismay, he was unable to be reimbursed for the beer due to the overwhelming demand. They did, however, refund his money in full and offered him two free pints of beer. Even still, that's a tear-jerker!

 

Not necessarily a super rare beer, but def. a treat for me to drink a couple a year...
I invited a few friends over for some beer drinking and a football game.
I had poured my last Pumpkinator into my favorite goblet.

I set it on the floor beside my recliner letting it heat up for 20 mins or so until first sip. Before i even had it on the ground for 5 mins, a buddy came stumbling beside me and literally kicked my goblet ( he obv. didnt see it)
across the living room. Pumpkinator everywhere all over my wifes rug, and my fave goblet shattered into a million shards when it flew into the brick fireplace hearth.

He was damn lucky i had half the bomber left, and another goblet.

 

about two months ago I had a sculpin spilled onto my nutsack in a bar. I didn't make the person who spilled it zamboni, but in retrospect, I should have.

 

Lmao thats so shitty and funny at the same time...great visual

 

Made the turkey brine recipe from BA magazine last Thanksgiving. As I lifted the plastic bag outta the cooler, it broke. Sierra Nevada et. al. all over the kitchen, including the ceiling. The beer wasn't a whale, but the clean up job was.

 

I've never smashed a bottle, but I dropped a bottle of Rochefort 10 on it's cap while I was moving stuff around in my mini-fridge. It didn't break but the cap bent and the beer started coming out. Needless to say I was having a Rochefort that night.

Now, I've managed to break a few glasses washing them.

 

Never. But I have broken few nice glasses. And once I dropped Armand & Tomme bottle, but fortunately it survived.

 

I broke a 2012 burton baton in my garage

 

after reading this thread it sounds like half of the beer sold on dark lord day was spilled on premises

 

BORIS. In the driveway. Crash. Sad.

 

A few weeks ago I had a 64oz growler of Fort George - Java the Hop slip from my grip in the parking lot and explode.

Not a super rare beer, but one of my personal favorites. It was very traumatic. Hell, it was tough for me to even admit it happened. Thanks for letting me share folks.

 

Once broke Odell's IPA bottle, and thisi s really rare thing in our lands!

 

Lion Stout jumped out my fridge and shattered on my floor. Although, not an expensive one, the memory remains.

 

I once dropped a bottle of St Feuillien Amite. I could have cried.

 

My brother dropped one of my Biscotti Break bombers. Still owes me for that one.

 

Dropped a 4 pack of founders impy stout on my concrete basement floor. Top of bottle caught the shelf as I was loading it and slipped out of my hand. Luckily only 2 smashed. I was still pissed cause it's my favorite non BA ris. My basement smelled fantastic for like a week though so not all was lost
