The general cargo ship Star Fraser arrives in the Port of Charleston with 28 fermentation tanks for Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s new Mills River, N.C. brewery. It took 14-days to get the massive 800- and 1600-barrel tanks from the manufacturer Ziemann in BÃ¼rgstadt, Germany to South Carolina. The new brewery, due to open in 2014, will start with a capacity of about 300,000 barrels to help quench the thirst of beer drinkers up and down the east coast.
