A 78,000lb fermentation tank on a 96-wheel truck moving along a farm road in King George County on Thursday, November 3, 2005:
A barge carrying five of the tanks had arrived from Germany via Norfolk, Virginia, bound for the Coors brewery at Elkton, in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. (Mike Morones/The Free Lance-Star) |
