What a waste of $5.6 million worth of tasty beer!

My brother, who works at Sleeman Brewery here in Guelph, Ontario, just sent me these pics:

Crying shame...
Oh, the humanity...

The support bars gave causing the tank to collapse like a beer can. The collapsed tank, pictured, goes all the way to the ground. It managed to rip open the bottom of the adjacent tank, spilling over 5,000HL of beer throughout the plant. That's 800 pallets, each worth roughly $7,000, for a total of $5.6 million dollars of wasted beer.

The beer was waist high in some areas. (Imagine! Swimming in beer!) No one was hurt.

let's pray and beg for forgiveness
 
Don't worry! That beer will be soaked up in the soil, and grass will soak up the beer in the soil, and cows will eat the grass that soaked up the beer...and so the next time you order that mcdonalds happy meal..
 
I think a prayer is in order.

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, The bitter and The lager.
Forever and ever,

Barmen

Actually, the beer we lost wasnt Sleemans. It was Old Milwaukee. Which is sick.

I'm his brother, who works there by the way.

Well, that changes everything. Old Milwaukee isn't even really beer. I always thought they made it by having really drunk guys just piss into a bottle. I mean, wow... it's on my top 5 worst beers of all time list, up there with old Lucky Lager and Schmidt.
