Did you know? The Great London Beer Flood: A Tsunami of Stout!

The catastrophic event occurred in the densely populated St Giles Rookery, an impoverished neighborhood. The collapse of the giant 7-meter-tall wooden vat triggered a chain reaction, rupturing other vats and sending a powerful 4.6-meter-high wave of brown stout through the area. Victims included a mother and child, and several mourners attending a wake. The incident was initially deemed an Act of God, absolving the brewery of legal responsibility, though they still faced substantial financial losses from the destroyed product.
