Well dude, no one ever said stuff was supposed to make sense . . . that said, like most situations, I feel like there's two possible paths to tread down:
1 - the "Friendly" one
Instigate a conversation with him - but very laid-back, in a neutral environment. Call him out for a drink, chill for a bit, don't get sloshed, and just mention "Hey bud - I feel like something's wrong. Is there something I did that pissed jah off?" That should force his hand, but also remove the offensive stance from his arsenal. This should make 'mediation' of the conflict easier - you can explain, and he'll have no choice but to roll with it. Diplomacy and victory - good deal.
2 - the "Not so friendly" one
OK i'm not so good at this - this would probably entail making him look like an ass for having a chip on his shoulder for no reason, not having a good time, and generally being a dick about something that not only isn't his deal, but doesn't even smell remotely like drama. Later, you can get with his girlfriend, piss in his ear, burn his house down, and kick the dog on the way out . . . or something.
I'd probably suggest number one - but it's ultimately your call. Like the immortal Yogi Berra once said:
When you come to a fork in the road, I say take it.
