Tragic Accident at Redhook Brewing

On April 24th Ben Harris, an employee at Red Hook Brewing's Portmouth, NH facility was fatally wounded when a keg he was working on exploded.

Details of the incident from Redhook:

There is an assessment underway to reveal exactly what happened Tuesday morning. Although the investigation is still in process, there are several facts that we can confirm:


• The accident was caused by an exploding plastic keg ;
• The keg was not owned or used by Redhook Brewery or any other CBA brewery;
• It is normal protocol for the brewery to receive kegs that aren’t ours from time to time;
• Ben was handling the keg at the time it exploded.
