The driver then lost control of the truck, and it overturned, causing boxes carrying bottles of what appear to be Luponic Distortion and Union Jack IPA to take a spill all over the freeway.

Stories like this bring tears to my eyes.

The greater tragedy were all the Irishmen who were trampled to death in an effort to get to the scene.

If it was IPA good riddance. Stuff is disgusting. Should do a good job killing the weeds along the roadside though.

Awesome visual. I was just going to say that I thought that was Homer Simpson’s best day of his life.

A big rig to carry ‘dozens of cases’ of beer? Frat boys used to do better than that with a pickup truck or Econoline van on the run from Athens to Arcade.
