Video Clip of New Burien Tank Delivery

Here's a video clip of one of our new tanks being hauled into the brewery in Burien. Each fermentation tank will hold ~600 gallons of beer and roughly double our current capacity.

The tanks were manufactured by Interior Stainless of Summerland, BC. That's Jim from Interior in the yellow shirt and Head Brewer Doug Hindman steering the fork lift. Lead Brewer, John Gerretson, operated the camera.
