Redhook Employee Killed by Exploding Keg

imageI always hate hearing (and reporting) this sort of news, but an employee of Redhook in Portsmouth, NH was injured when a keg exploded at the brewery 7AM this morning.  The man was apparently cleaning & pressurizing kegs when one failed and exploded.  The pieces did strike the man in the head & chest and he was taken to Portsmouth Hospital in cardiac arrest.  Stay tuned for further details.

Update (12:30PM EST)…I’m sad to report that seacoast on-line is reporting the worked from Redhook did not survive his injuries.
