I present to you the “Road of Grolsch”. It serves as a reminder of what can happen when fine beverage hauling goes wrong, aka TRUCKSPILL.
But how often does fine beverage hauling really go wrong? All the time. And my new favorite website truckspills.com has the evidence to prove it. Claiming to be “The website of odd, strange, interesting, and unbelievable things spilled on the road by trucks.” It’s the real deal. Continue Reading »
The Mutineers try and outrun an epic fine beverage disaster in the Mutineer RV.
Yup, fine beverage disaster struck again last week when a tanker truck carrying 7,000 gallons of flammable (and delicious) Canadian Club whiskey flipped near Georgetown, Kentucky. Continue Reading »
A bottle of Lowenbrau that survived the legendary Hindenburg airship crash is poised to earn the honors of the most expensive bottle of beer ever.
According to ABC News:
A singed bottle of beer recovered from the ashes of the Hindenburg disaster is expected to fetch $4,000 to $8,000 at auction this weekend — the highest price ever for a bottle of beer. Continue Reading »
As a follow up to yesterday’s fine beverage warehouse spectacular, I present to you some intense footage of Bud Light that has been spilled over an overpass and is narrated by the most un-psyched guy ever. “Oh my gosh…Bud Light. Oh my gosh, look at all of it.” The road under the overpass must’ve smelled like a frat house for weeks…
Here’s what we know: This is arguably the most epic fine beverage failure I’ve ever seen, and it took place in Moscow. That’s about it. The epicness of this crash is overwhelming to even the most credible of news organizations, who can’t seem to get their stories right about what actually happened. Damage estimates range from approx. $98,000 to $200,000, The New York Times suggests a conspiracy theory, while the Huffington Post is convinced the forklift driver was drunk, though no other news organization seems to agree with them.

This morning a truck full of Miller Beer pulled an epic fail on the Tri-State Tollway outside of Chicago. This would be a tragedy if someone got hurt, but no one did, so it’s just plain f*cking hilarious. Not much else to say here, I assumed Shia Labeouf was driving, but he wasn’t, so we’re left with: truck full of beer is driving. Truck full of beer drives through the guardrail. Truck full of beer does barrel-rolls ala Talladega Nights and now beer is all over the place. Booya. Continue Reading »
In what is still a developing story, 150 people have died as the result of an earthquake early this morning in the Abruzzo region of Italy, which is in central Italy, east of Rome. Continue Reading »
“Being close to danger is just part of the job”, says Jeff Dorenbush of Mutineer Magazine on location where water had devoured a road.
People always talk about water like it is this awesome thing, and alcohol like it’s the enemy (See Jesus + Hatchets = No More Alcohol). In some ways it is, but when was the last time tequila roared mercilessly through a populated area? This is what water has done tonight in the Pacific Northwest, and being that the Mutineers are dedicated to covering all things beverage, they jimmy-rigged a Land Cruiser snorkel kit to the Mutineer Passat and headed to ground zero for ultimate coverage. While the car snorkel was a hit, things fell apart when the Mutineers realized that no one had packed a flash light or umbrella. Furthermore, no one had any journalistic experience covering merciless floods, and with a rented copy of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and nachos waiting back at Mutineer HQ, things just began to feel not-meant-to-be.
