2 workers injured in Pa. brewery mishap

BREINIGSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Production at the Samuel Adams Pennsylvania Brewery has been halted after a boiler mishap left a pair of workers with minor injuries.

Michelle Sullivan says the accident happened just after 12 p.m. today at the facility and emergency services responded to the scene. She says one worker in the boiler room was hit with either smoke or steam and that it had agitated his eyes while another worker was hit on the head.

Neither was taken to a hospital.

The brewery’s 100 or so workers were evacuated to the parking lot and production has been halted while officials investigate the cause of the incident.

The brewery is one of three that The Boston Beer Co. operates, along with its flagship location in Boston and a third in Cincinnati.
