Message Buzzardsuds 13:23 Mon 1/19/2015 Alright, I’ve finally calmed down enough to throw this out there! I saw a similiar thread previously somewhere! I was out w/my wife one night over Christmas and we get a text from my 23 yr. old daughter! It said: Got my beer out of the garage fridge, oh, btw, a bottle fell out on the floor and broke! Sorry, I cleaned it up though! I immediately got a sick feeling in my gut! Drove home, opened the fridge, sure as sh*t, my Deschute’s Abyss was missing!!! Nooooooooooooooooo! Question is: Has this ever happened to you? If so, what beer? Let’s hear em’ (this might help me feel better)
Message rennat42 P beers 5357 º places 205 º 13:29 Mon 1/19/2015 Honestly haven’t had it happen...yet. But I have had bottles hit the ground while pulling something out of the fridge and got a sick feeling before it even hit the ground. Thankfully, none have broke yet, but I think it’s only a matter of time.

Message phaleslu P admin beers 16531 º places 792 º 13:54 Mon 1/19/2015 I was carrying bottles from my car to my house in winter 2010-2011 and had a couple Goose Island Vanilla Bourbon County Stouts in my arms. I had a big coat and gloves on, and could barely feel one of them slip out. It shattered when it hit the curb. Winter sucks.

Message MadShaolin beers 100 º 13:59 Mon 1/19/2015 I work in retail, and everyone in the shop has that cat like reflex after a crash. Eyes wide open, slowly poking their head around the corner hoping it was nothing important.
Message MaxxDaddy P beers 415 º places 32 º 15:01 Mon 1/19/2015 Only incident came when I was taking some beers home in the rain. Should have been cradling the paper bag instead of just holding it by the handles. Lost a JP/Anchorage Calabaza Boreal. That beer ended up being super good when I tried it eventually, so I was extra bummed about it. Time heals all wounds though, so it’s cool now.

Message reggiedunlop beers 3729 º places 182 º 15:28 Mon 1/19/2015 I spilled a whole bottle of darkness on my tan carpet once. I had two more though. The cleanup sucked!
Message sloth P beers 3473 º places 102 º 16:12 Mon 1/19/2015 Iv,e had several bombers hit my basement floor (Concrete) upon opening my frige door and NOT break! The beer gods must really like me?! Sorry to hear about your loss.
Message StefanSD beers 2449 º places 57 º 16:33 Mon 1/19/2015 Never dropped and broke a bottle, but I’ve had a bottle spontaneously explode on me. And, I do mean explode. Embedded glass shards into the drywall, and thankfully my back was turned when this happened.
