Thar she blows!

Thu Mar 05, 2009 8:36 pm

Daughter came in my bedroom this morning and said that a "beer glass broke in the laudry room". Likely as it is for me to leave a glass on the washing machine (next to the bottle fridge), I immediately thought it was a BN glass or a Sam Adams glass that I have been very fond of recently. I got my shoes on and went downstairs.... actually it turned out that one of my comp bottles of my Orval clone (in a six pack holder on top of the fridge) had blown up. Cap was still on the neck. Mark on the ceiling where it hit. Glass and beer everywhere.

After I cleaned up the mess, I went to the garage and got some gloves and safety glasses - and CAREFULLY put the 5-pack in the fridge to cool. Tonight I recapped them. I'm thankful nobody was hurt, and I don't have any more live munitions on my fridge.

That's why he really made his daughter clean it up, and recap them. They're young, they can grow a new one...
