Watch: Beer tank explosion sends man flying across floor

Watch the moment a brewer was sent flying across the floor after a beer tank valve exploded.

One of the workers at Back Channel Brewing Co in Minnesota, US, was working on a tank on 23 January when they incident happened.

Footage – which has been viewed more than 1.8 million times – shows the brewer thrown to the ground as a powerful jet of beer hits him straight in the chest.
