According to the Florida Highway Patrol, an estimated 60,000 pounds of Busch Beer was thrown onto I-10 after Michael Powell, 44, of Simpsonville, S.C., lost control of the tractor-trailer, which came to a rest on its side.

Powell walked away with minor injuries, but the beer he was delivering won't be making it to its intended destination.

But, hey, there's probably going to be great happy hour specials in Okaloosa County this week.
