Oct. 28, 2013— -- quicklist: 1title: Yuengling Brewery Back to Business After Blazetext: Everything is business as usual today at the Yuengling brewery in Tampa, Fla., after a fire caused $1 million of damage to the plant on Saturday night, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

"The fire itself was very dramatic and very frightening," Yuengling's Director of Operations Jim Helmke said. "But none of the beer, none of the product was jeopardized at all. Nothing will prevent us from operating normally. Nobody here will lose an hour of work over this. It could have been much worse. We're very fortunate."

Two employees were inside when the fire broke out, according to the Tampa Bay Times. They were not injured, and, as you know, neither was the beer.

Take Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson. The CNN anchor and "Top Gear" host got in a Twitter spat on Sunday after Clarkson tweeted a picture of Morgan with the caption, "What a monumental tw*t this man is. I cannot wait for the day he goes to prison."

The two had it out, exchanging barbs about whose show got better ratings, until Morgan apparently decided he was the victor in the 140-character combat.

"That was fun @JeremyClarkson – let's do it again sometime. #FleshEaten," Morgan tweeted above a picture of a skeleton used for Halloween decorations.
