Not So Good Morning
Pretty much upon waking up Amy showed me the news. Two hours ago (5:20AM) it was first reported by Kate Merriman of WGAL News 8 that the Funk Brewing Company on South Market Street of Elizabethtown was on fire.

First reported was at 5:20AM by Kate Merriman of WGAL News 8 with her personal Facebook account. Her post reads:
#UPDATE Police lined the back of the building with tape. Details are still limited. Still with us for the latest developments.
BREAKING Crews are on the scene of a fire at Funk Brewing on South Market Street in Elizabethtown Borough. This is the backside of the business. No injuries. Still under investigation.

Funk Brewing Company Articles
Thanks For Reading
Well…. this is very unexpected and unfortunate news to wake up to this morning. Hopefully the updates will be better and things will come out better. Hoping that there continues to be no injuries and very little building damage. Funk Brewing is a great brewery and a great spot to visit. I love stopping in there when in the E-Town area. (Even done a few beer reviews from there.)
Please stop back for updates.
Reminder – tomorrow is the Boneshire Brew Works 6th celebration that we’ll be stopping out at, come out and visit. As well as game one of the Phillies – Astros World Series. Fingers crossed for our Phightin Phillies.
Cheers!
