Power Returned to Chocolate City Beer

From the Washington post:

However, another local brewery went even longer without power: the Chocolate City Beer’s Brookland brewery only got the electricity back this morning.

When the storm hit, “We had some [beer] kegged off and some finished product that was at 33, 34 degrees,” says Chocolate City co-founder Jay Irizarry, estimating that there were 35 to 40 barrels (between 1,085 and 1,240 gallons) of beer in the brewery at the time. “We’re lucky to have a nice old stone building so it didn’t get too warm, maybe up to room temperature.

“We have to give it 24 hours for everything to chill down again. We’ll know for sure tomorrow if we’re in the clear, but we hope so.”
