I have an inside source that tells me only the canning portion is a total loss. I can’t confirm it for sure, so I will just comment that hopefully this is only a set back to production.

Even though I haven’t been drinking Saranac much lately, I did pick up a 12 of the Pale Ale tonight in honor of the brewery and hopes they will be brewing again soon.

Follow-up news I’ve seen doesn’t look good. It may be a total loss.

I guess consciously buying some Saranac beer is a way to help support the brewery as they get ready to rebuild.
