SPRING PARK, Minn. — A brewery in the west metro shared a video of a recent mishap where a worker was knocked to the ground by a powerful stream of beer.

Over the weekend, Back Channel Brewing Co. posted surveillance video from the morning of Jan. 23. The video shows an employee working on a tank when beer begins bursting from it, pushing the worker back and onto the ground. The worker, who was not harmed, gets up and attempts to stop the gushing liquid. 

Another worker is seen helping out the drenched worker before the video cuts out.

The beer, appropriately called "Blow Back," is a New England IPA and is on tap — but is in limited supply, of course.

The brewery is located in Spring Park on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
