OK, good to hear.
When I read the title to this thread, I thought the same things many others have:
"At least it was a great beer!"
But then I saw that you weren't even the one drinking it! Somehow that made it worse. If you spilled your own beer on your computer, at least you were enjoying some delicious 90 minute before it happened.
(as an aside, I live in WI, and we lost DFH last year when they pulled out of the state unexpectedly)
Anyway, I really really hope you get the money from that guy. When I was working at the Apple store, some girl came in with a similar experience. She was in a cafe, and some douche either knocked over her coffee or spilled his own all over her computer. She said that all she got was a "uh, sorry" from him. The Genii took pity on her and just gave her a new machine, but maybe that had something to do with the fact that a cute girl was crying at their bar.
(I only slightly kid, but there is of course something to be said for the way that our particular store made it a priority to do whatever was "right" for the customer, regardless of rules. Someone having liquid involuntarily spilled on their machine is perhaps to be treated differently than every joe schmoe that dropped their phone and shattered the glass.)
