    Had a bottle of De Cam Kriek Lambiek gush all over a hotel room one time, looked like there was a stabbing with the dark red liquid covering a bunch of the furniture. The last quarter of the bottle that was left was pretty dang delicious though!

    Not an "oops!" but, almost today. I was stoked to finally see some sorta-fresh (damn FW distro here) Union Jack at the store I work for. Literally, two seconds before I was called over to the next available register I realized it wasn't XX/XX/2015... It was definitely XX/XX/2014. Year old IPA anyone? I'll pass :wink:... Fresh two hearted isn't gonna garner a complain thought. Solid staple beer.

    Edit: grammar?

    op is from queens ny.its not the friendlest place. no it wasn't flora, it was arthur.

    she sliced her hands all over it. so i felt bad. BUT totatty broke it do to sheer negligence of my beer.
    I'm mad but she did drive me the whole way and made the whole trip possible as well as taking me heady hunting.

    I think she gets a pass with the correct sorry

    Not me, but a buddy knocked over his shelf and broke three bombers of Dark Lord.

    She drove you from Queens to Vermont so you could hunt down beer? Dude, unless she busted that magnum over your head, you've got no reason to be mad.

    Had a bottle of Yulesmith explode in my closet a few years ago. Also, remember dropping a bottle of a local brew that hadn't been made in years. I smelled the fumes (it was an English Strong Ale). Luckily, i was able to track another down through a trade with a local.

    I was grabbing a half growler of Congress Street IPA off my counter a couple of weeks ago and BAM! Beer, glass shards, and shattered dreams all over the floor. Luckily I live less than ten miles from Trillium.

    Back in March, after a full day of drinking around the St. Pete/Clearwater/Dunedin area (Peg's, Cycle, Green Bench, Rapp, Pair O'Dice, 7venth Sun) and a few bottles into a share at @papajohn56 place in Lakeland, I 'fell asleep' sitting upright holding a snifter 3/4 full of Pugachev's Cobra and spilled it all over myself and the couch/loveseat thing i was sitting on. luckily, its brown so no one will ever know unless they sniff the cushions for some reason.
