    Spilled a half bottle of KCM on my white carpet trying to grab something unimportant that was next to it. I was drunk so it was excusable, I tell myself. The cleanup was a bitch...

    Surprised she got an upgrade in status after pulling a stunt like that.

    Said he "bumped" the beer fridge and when he opened it to check things out the 97 Rose came crashing down. Sad sad day.

    Brought a Victory Java Cask home from a business trip (via checked bag), got it all the way to the cellar where it tipped over and smashed on the floor.

    Only have seen a bottle broken once. One of the 3 Floyds carriers of course. We brought home a ton of beer and one of the 4 packs gave out and my friend smashed a Dreadnaught.

    Not a huge deal living in Indiana and we had more Dreadnaught. Just glad it wasn't carrying the Pear Bear

    Also fell asleep and spilled a whole glass of my last zombie dust

    I had just poured a Backwoods Bastard and set it, stupidly, on the arm of the couch. While reaching for the remote, one of the cats comes in tearing ass and knocks it to the floor, wall and couch. That kinda sucked.

    Back in the day (2009) I traded a Dark Lord for a Westy 12 which turned out to be very, very oxidized.

    Every time i think of this, I laugh and cry at the same time. My wife and I were heading to the cottage for thanksgiving and while while we were packing the car, she nearly dropped my bottle bag which had my last bomber of Sip of Sunshine (from the last batch of bomber exclusive brewing). I saved it, placed it further in the trunk and breathed a deep breath. Well it would seem that this bottle really didn't want to live as when I opened the hatch to placed the groceries we bought in the trunk, it fell out of the bag, hit the bumper, hit my knee and exploded in the parking lot.

    Just last night I was opening a vintage 2009 bud light that I traded for and the sucker slipped out of my hands and crashed to the floor. Needless to say devastation doesn't even begin to cover it. I was forced to slurp it up off the floor, glass shards and all...it was totally worth it, 2009 is one of the best years.

    Dated a gal with a mullet once who while me and a friend were out getting beer popped open one of 2 Thomas Hardy's and dumped the rest of it thinking it "sucked". That relationship lasted for a VERY short time....I was so mad I couldn't talk for 2 days straight back in the late 90's without a slurry of curse words.

    Bombed a Prairie BOMB! on the kitchen floor. I was sad because it was a pricey little bugger.

    I remember being nearly distraught when I dropped my last beer of a Unibroue Maudite four pack on my front porch... One for my homies.....

    Visited a friend on a little mini-vacation last year. He likes good beer but isn't crazy like I am. On this trip we found some Backwoods, but that isn't the victim in this tale. Although from the same brewery, my friend had set aside a 4-pack of Founders Breakfast Stout for my visit. He pulled it out to show me what he was putting in the fridge for later, and...

    CRASH!!!

    A leak of some sort had weakened the glue of the 4-pack, and we lost all 4 in a glass-filled calamity. We spent about an hour mopping and cleaning up. It was very sad solely within the concept of spilled beer, last November. We found a way to make up for it, though.

    A friends girlfriend knocked over and spilled a full bottle of Prairie Weisse. That was a $13 bomber I had transported 600 miles to let him taste. Neither of us were thrilled at the time.
