Bud light? Maybe that will fill Lake Mead back up a little bit.

I wonder what it smelled like driving past that. I remember one July a Budweiser truck overturned on the old (pre-HO/T era) left-side ramp from the I-495 Inner Loop to I-66. Beer cans everywhere on the sides of the hill, many of them burst on impact, a very hot July day.....the aroma of skunked Bud later that day was absolutely foul. (Had I known about the incident in advance, I would have hit the climate control "recirculate" button before getting there.)

Tonight's headlines on the AARoads News Channel:  "Louisville becomes a major tourist attraction.  H. B. Elkins still unimpressed.  Details at 11."

I once had a small railroad project right next to the Iron City bottling plant in the Lawrenceville section of northern Pittsburgh.  They consistently dumped a small stream of hot runoff from the brewery vats from a pipe located about 10 feet up on the side of the back wall of the plant.  The hot steamy effluent appeared to be under a bit of pressure, and actually dumped out onto a section of industrial track servicing the brewery that was no longer in use.  The smell was pretty rough, particularly on that one day that temperatures reached above 90o in the city.
