The Horse Shoe Brewery on Tottenham Court Road in London boasted a massive 22-foot-tall vat that held some 160,000 gallons of dark porter. On October 17, 1814, one of the metal hoops meant to secure it snapped, and the wooden vat succumbed to the immense pressure of all that fermenting brew. The gushing beer smashed open the brewery's other vats, resulting in a raging sea of beer that burst forth from the building.

Doug:"Sad, eh?"
Bob: "Tell me about it."
Doug: "You tearin' up?"
Bob: "Me? No way, ya hoser!" [sniffs]
Doug: "It's all the beer, eh?"
