The Great Beer Flood; Weird History

🍺 The Great Beer Flood — When London Was Hit by a Wave of Beer

On October 17, 1814, a massive wooden beer vat exploded inside the Horse Shoe Brewery in London.

More than 135,000 imperial gallons of porter beer burst into the streets, sending a wave through the surrounding neighborhood.

Buildings were damaged, homes were flooded, and eight people lost their lives.

What followed was one of the strangest disasters in London's history—and one that changed the way breweries thought about storing massive quantities of beer.
