(Portsmouth, NH) – According to multiple reports out of Southern New Hampshire this morning, a worker at RedHook Brewery has died from injuries stemming from an exploding keg incident. The employee, who has yet to be named, “had been pressurizing kegs with air as part of a cleaning process to remove residual beer from them,” according to Seacoast Online.
Many breweries have since offered condolences to those affected by the brewer’s death.
