I knew my latest IPA was dangerous but damn........

Well it had to happen I guess... the first time in 23 years that I have dropped a full bottle of beer in my garage.

 

Apart from being devastated at the loss of what is (in my opinion) an absolutely lovely, strong (and probably slightly over carbonated) beer, I then had to deal with what it did to my leg after it failed said impact test on the concrete.....

Fuck,

If you were an tattoo type of person.....

 

Fuck yes.  Best.  Idea.  EVER!

 

But it has to be a choice homemade tattoo with Bic ballpoint ink and an old compass.

yeah and you clean it up when it's done with a wire brush and some dettol...  :)
just soak up the beer with a rag and wrap it around the wound.  Not the best way to enjoy the beer but at least it wont go to waste..
that is fkn great.....  it wouldn't go with my other tattoos though....

Reminds me of a similar homebrew related injury a mate sustained a couple months ago.

He knocked over a bottle which proceeded to explode, showering the assembled bbq crowd with glass and beer, and putting a sizeable shard of glass into his little toe. Blood everywhere, but most distressing for the brewer was the lost brew! A fellow attendee at the bbq, who is a vet, who offered to stitch up the wound but he didn’t take her up on the offer funnily enough Seems to have healed up ok.

It was also an IPA so I wonder if there is some of hop rebellion going on,exacted on unsuspecting home brewers for trying to squeeze all those hops into the brew.

I shattered a carboy once, rinsing it with too hot water.  Tidied all the broken glass into a box then slipped on the wet floor and landed in it hand first.  Microsurgery, plenty of stitches and 20 years later I still have a nasty ‘suicide’-looking scar and limited sensation in two fingers and a thumb. 

At least no beer was spilt, but it took me a few years to try brewing again!

"At least no beer was spilt"

 

I read all of your post in absolute horror until I came up to this and had to laugh haha. Sorry to hear about your hand tho mate :o(
