Lagunitas’ new brewhouse wrecked en route to Panama

lagunitas-destroyed-575

(Petaluma, CA) – From Lagunitas Brewing‘s Twitter stream.

Seems that our new 250bbl brewhse, hit a storm on the way into the eastern Carribe en route to Panama met HIGH seas, broached, and…

as the ship rolled thru almost 40 degrees a crane came loose from its chains and this happened

…and our 30′ diameter lauter tun became a little mishapen…. a little… OMG… they’re already building another one… jeeze…..

… just learned the tank is a total lo$$. Meanwhile two 40′ tall 750bbl fermenters just moored in Stockton CA last night. Lotsa work to do!

…I just looked in my checkbook and good news: I still have checks left…!

  1. Wow. Keep the faith. It could have been worse…. well…no actually….that’s pretty damn bad. Hope it doesn’t set you back too far. Love the Lagunitas!

  2. Please do expound! Guy is re-investing money into his business which will create new jobs.

    Perhaps karma for use of Twitter for full-length poems? 😉
