Liquid Lore Ep. 21: Death by Beer It’s Liquid Lore, where we dive into the stranger side of brewing history. On Oct 17, 1814, a massive beer tank burst in London — releasing over 300,000 gallons into the streets. 
The flood destroyed buildings and killed 8 people. The city reeked of beer for weeks. The tragedy sparked stricter safety laws that helped modernize the brewing industry. 
A dark day… but one that shaped beer as we know it today. #beerhistory #beerfacts #homebrewlife
