My father was a commercial beer brewer. He died when he fell into a vat of beer.
Whats worse is that i heard it was not a slow death, as he had to get out 3 times to pee.
lol....well, since this ghost of a thread is up again n' stuff....I, too, was saddened by this, until I got to the end. Too funny, Wayne, surprised I never heard this in the industry.
True story....working for Goose Island, the packaging line super messed up one day, and back-pressured the bright tank while packaging. Bottom line, the PRV blew, and all of us were treated to 200 bbls of beautiful beer - kolsch, I seem to recall, the summer seasonal - geysering monstrously, tragically from the tank, a torrent. I did my yeoman's service, and attempted to cap the beer several times, to no avail. I was, however, thoroughly soaked in the most refreshing blowhole this side of Halona, Hawaii.
