From Philly.com:
More than a week after torrential rain caused massive flooding in the community along the Schuylkill, the 18-year-old craft brewery remained without power after 51/2 feet of river water deluged the former textile mill and ruined its electrical system.
"This is probably our fourth major flood," said Michael Rose, the brewery's operating partner. "This is the second-worst I have experienced." Only Hurricane Irene in 2011 was worse, he said.
The brewery had to throw out 1,500 cases of canned beer and about 4,000 gallons still in brewing vats, Rose said.
Rose was reluctant to put an estimate on the damage, but said it would likely exceed $500,000.
