fuck that.....that sucks!

PORTSMOUTH — A brewery worker died from injuries related to the explosion of a beer keg at the Redhook Ale Brewery Tuesday morning, said Portsmouth Regional Hospital spokeswoman Nancy Notis.

The worker, who has not yet been identified, was a man in his 20s or early 30s, said Assistant Fire Chief Steve Achilles. According to the assistant fire chief, the employee had been pressurizing kegs with air as part of a cleaning process to remove residual beer from them.

“The keg failed and exploded and he was injured by parts of the keg,” Achilles said.

Firefighters were dispatched to the brewery, located 1 Redhook Way at the Pease Tradeport, at 7:06 a.m. for an initial report about a beer keg explosion which seriously injured the worker, said Achilles. Engine 3 was the first on scene and firefighters found the worker unresponsive, with a weak pulse, and located in an area with kegs, bottles and conveyor belts, said Achilles.

Emergency medical technicians then arrived by ambulance from Station 2 and found the brewery employee in cardiac arrest, with chest and head injuries, Achilles said. He was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital by ambulance, with what were initially described as life-threatening injuries.

Achilles said the fire department notified the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and it was his understanding that Redhook management is being “very cooperative.”

Redhook spokesman Ted Lane said the “hearts” of brewery managers “go out to the family members” of the employee. He said Redhook is conducting its own investigation to find out what happened.

Police Lt. Russell Russo said officers were dispatched to the brewery for a police investigation. Federal officers from the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also responded because the accident was related to an alcohol-related facility.

The brewery pub and all tours were cancelled Tuesday.
