Brewery Officials: What happens next...
The big question on everyone's mind the day after the Brewery fire - what's next for the brewery? Multimedia Around 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Brewery Officials wrapped up a press conference, where they addressed the immediate concerns of the brewery, and what actions are to come. Some things discussed included: *Canning capability is lost for now. However, it looks like bottling operations could be salvageable, though officials are not yet sure. *There are plans to tank beer at another brewery. *There is plenty of finished stock that has not been effected that will be rolling out Monday. *Kegging operations were not effected. *There may be some dislocation for employees, but no other details were released. *The Boilermaker is not expected to be effected. *Saranac Thursday will continue next Thursday. *There were no fire sprinklers in the building, but the building was up to fire codes according to Nick Matt.

Friday, May 30 at 5:59 PM think about this - KP wrote ...I will admit that the miss use of alcohol can often be linked to problems that occur in society. But what does that have to do with this story. This story is about a possible tragic event for our city. Think of the loss of money for not only matt brewery, but the affect on local business. Think about the people who may lose their job. The only thing that is clear is that as a community we need to show strong support for our local business by going to saranac next thursday. Obviously.

The Matt Family supports this community and the community will support them! Take you narrow views back to your church!

I still support the Matt beers faithfully, and consider this brewery a cornerstone of local culture. Too many regional trasures like this one are being lost to big corporations and "Wal Mart" culture. Its time to rally behind the Saranac products while they re-build - supporting companies like these is a good thing - it keeps local color alive. Lets rally around the local brew!!

Looks like they work hand in hand!

Hey "Think about it", you need a hobby.

So much is spent on the war on drugs, lives destroyed by zealous enforcement agents and coercive, unethical techniques. Tobacco and alcohol are big business, and so we see the motivations of these laws and efforts towards all these substances. Very clear indeed.
