Brooklynites: Don't Frack Our Beer!

 The brewmeister of Brooklyn Brewery says toxic fracking chemicals like methanol, benzene, and ethylene glycol (found in anti-freeze) could contaminate his beer by leaking into New York's water supply.

 

 

 

The Lion Brewery has been sold

The long time makers of such staples as the now defunct Gibbons brand and the Mean Old Man's favorite Stegmaier is changing hands again. It's the the third time the company has been sold since 1993. The long time fixture in the north end of Wilkes-Barre employs 150 people.



The new owners say they are committed to expanding the operation. The promise of more beer will make this guy happy.
