The London Beer Flood of 1814 was certainly one of the weirder disasters in history. In St. Giles, London, an iron band slipped off a wooden beer barrel at the horseshoe Brewery. This resulted in one of the weirder industrial accidents in history, as a 15-foot wall of beer burst from the barrel, swamping the brewery and several surrounding houses. All told 8 were killed in the beer flood.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well-sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
