This must have been one killer brew.

A South Dakota man was arrested Sunday after he risked life and limb to run back into his burning home to “save” his beer, authorities said.

The blaze broke out inside an apartment building in Sioux Falls at around 12:30 p.m., injuring three people, Keoland.com reported. Two of whom were treated at the scene.

As firefighters were working to put out the fire, a man – in an effort to rescue his brew – pushed past cops and firefighters.

The Sioux Falls Police Department tweeted, “1 in custody after obstructing fire and police. It is not advisable to push past PD and Fire in an attempt to “save your beer”#besmart.”

The department then followed that up with a humorous tweet of a “SpongeBob SquarePants” meme that read, “So you are telling me, the structure was on fire, he was ordered to stay out, and he ran back in for his beer when the SFPD and SFFR were there already…right when you think you have heard it all! #underarrest.”

“This incredibly poor judgment could have put many responders at risk #notworthyourlife,” the department said.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
