Beer truck explodes

Saw some news out of Canada the other night. A truck carrying beer crashed and exploded into flames, snarling highway traffic for hours.

Globe and Mail: Beer truck explodes, stalling 401 for hours

Fortunately, the driver was able to escape before the cab burst into flames. He has serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was seriously hurt.

The best part of the article is the last line:

Unconfirmed media reports last night said the truck was carrying Budweiser beer.

(Such sites are ideally beer-related, but we’re open to others; within reason.)

Posts you offer obviously should be related to beer, but beyond that it’s pretty much up to you. Obviously we have final the editorial decision.
