lcpfratn Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Wow! Another tough break for Barton. Hopefully, since it’s only beer, I’m assuming the environmental impact won’t be as bad as the rick house collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think it’s time for a full structural assessment of every building and large piece of equipment on that property. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Well, I don’t foresee a slug problem on the grounds this year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there Friday and it certainly struck me as a post ww2 working distillery. BT has put sole polish on but the Barton tour is literally walking through someones work space while someone talks about hammer mills and mash cookers. There was some computers and automation. And plum bobs in the rickhouse I was in. It reminded me of a chemical plant I worked at the summer after high school. Nice folks there. And we picked a pretty kick ass barrel too. Hope the spill didn’t have anything to do with those levers I pulled curious george style !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I'm thinking that whomever is their insurance carrier is going to demand something along these lines (and certainly any new insurance carrier). Hope any other pending disasters are avoided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya' know how you can tell if stops being accurate? When the string breaks and it hits the ground. HA! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) I would think there is a serious pucker factor going on. Probably more gov’t alphabet agencies than they care to see. When all is said and done, in comes the “home office”........ Nothing scarier than the phrase, “We are from the government and we are here to help.” Edited March 7, 2019 by markandrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Air Tours Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Like any distillery of that age, it will have problems with older buildings. But them the recent spill was from a tank that was fairly new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
