Great Lakes Brewery Toronto Damaged In Flooding

From Blogto:

Thankfully, most breweries seem to have weathered the storm OK, but Toronto's oldest craft brewery, Great Lakes, has been hit pretty hard. Located along a stretch of the Gardiner Expressway in Etobicoke that was without power for over 30 hours, Great Lakes Brewery is actually still trying to figure out the extent of the damage caused by Monday's record-breaking rainfall.

The early prognosis is not good. In fact, far from simply a dark cold room and some soggy shoes, the loss of power at Great Lakes has cost the brewers a considerable amount of beer. Specifically, their award-winning "American Pale Wheat," Miami Weiss. Prior to the storm, GLB had just finished brewing over 10,000 litres of their wheat beer/IPA hybrid, and, without power on to regulate the temperature of the beer's fermentation process, it's likely all headed down the drain shortly.
