F.X. Matt Brewery on fire
Thursday 29 May 2008
A classic brewery, currently the brewer of Saranac, and a major brewer for the Brooklyn Brewery, is burning down. And don’t even get me started about how the loss of Utica Club would impact the hipster population.
you need a timestamp along with the date for your posts.
I can hear the beer screaming! screaming!
I grew up in Utica down the street from the brewery - I am heart broken.
The whole brewery did not burn down, but $10 million of damage was done, primarily to their canning operations. For more on the fire, see the story in today’s Observer Dispatch here: http://www.uticaod.com/breaking/x1829912919/Fire-reported-at-FX-Matts-Brewery
How about an update? Reading your description of the “brewery is burning down” would lead me to believe there is nothing but a pile of burnt up hops. I know otherwise because I astutely searched myself, but you are my first stop for the knowledge!
