BEER SPILL KILLS THOUSANDS OF FISH IN CREEK

GOLDEN, Colo. An employee of Coors Brewing flipped the wrong switch
Friday and sent 77,500 gallons of beer into a creek, killing thousands
of fish and prompting health warnings.

The beer, which was in fermenting tanks, washed through a wastewater
treatment plant before ending up in Clear Creek, a Coors spokeswoman
said.

The fish likely suffocated from the alcohol - among other things -
produced in the tanks. The Colorado Department of Public Health advised
residents to avoid contact with the creek south of the brewery because
of a small bacterial risk. The water could cause illness if consumed,
health officials said. State and federal investigators have not
determined whether any fines will be levied against the company.
