800 lb beer makin’ machine stolen

800 lb beer makin’ machine stolen

August 12, 2012 // Riot Fest

It’s almost everyone’s worst nightmare. Waking up and realizing you’re out of beer. But like, REALLY out of beer. Someone-stole-the-machine-that-makes-the-beer type of nightmare.

Join us in sending sympathy over to brew master Paul Krutzfeldt and his horrible loss. Paul walked into his warehouse on Monday morning— only to find that his 800lb canning line machine, one of the most important pieces to his success, has been stripped away in the middle of the night. The 10-foot-long machine is a clear indication that this was not a one man job while the abandoned forklift in the alley further solidifies the suspicion. Thankfully local brewing companies caught wind of the poor luck and have offered to can the beers while the replacement is purchased.

Rule #1, never mess with a man’s cold brew.
