Lovers of
fine beer are bracing themselves for a potential shortage of ales, porters and more from Kodiak's
premier craft brewer. Kodiak Island Brewing Company owner Ben Millstein announced today
(Friday) that a steam boiler in his Shelikof Street brewery has cracked,
stopping production.
Brewer Mike
Trussell said water was leaking fast from the boiler when he discovered the
leak.
Millstein
said there's enough beer in stock to make deliveries, quote, "for awhile," but
that sooner or later it's going to, quote, "start to hurt."
Millstein
said a new boiler will have to be imported, with shipping and installation
taking between three and six weeks.
