The expansion has seen the Diageo plant taking on the role of
kegging draught Guinness for all of the company's customers in England, Wales and Scotland in addition to its role of bottling and canning the Irish stout.
A spokesman for Newcastle Federation Breweries said: "We can confirm that an incident occurred shortly before midnight on November 30 in the
kegging area of the Dunston Brewery.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that the brewery is putting in a
kegging line, as well as four new lagering tanks, a designated fruit beer brewhouse, expanded laboratory and refrigeration facilities, and brew house automation.
