I happened to be in Berrie one morning and decided I would try the plant it looked vacant enough, just one car in the lot. I figured there was probably security seeing as how in recent years there had been a HUGE pot grow-op I figured I might be able to sneak up a ladder and see the view then take off. was it accessible? How guarded was it now that they had found the grow-op... I HAD TO SEE!

I parked across the street at the (active) coca-cola bottling plant, and proceeded across the field besides Molson Park. I got to a chain link/barbed wire fence and found a gate in said fence. After getting over that the actual plant was surrounded by yet another fence, I followed this fenced. As I followed the fence I realized ( with great joy) that ALL of the doors on the building appeared to be propped open! When I got over the fence I was inside the first door I could get too. This was the Brew-house. Five stories tall of machinery all Brigit orange!

For the most part the rest of the exploration consisted for searching through large distiller rooms and mechanical rooms. I did see the distillers they cut open to grow pot in. A few rooms were filled with supplies (fertilizer, soil, lights, etc). Through one door in a white hallway like any other, I entered a bar. Wood floors, wood walls, wood bar. It was very surprising.

There was a section of office that was converted into living/drying rooms, separated by hasty construction, dry wall and 2x4. Some sections you had to crawl through a small hole to get to a room that was only accessible that one way. Very sneaky.

I knew that there was at least one person in the building some place, and the section that looked more active was inaccessible from the building. I had to cross on the roof to the north side of the building. There is an active water bottling operation going on amidst the remains of the beer bottling plant, as well as an office that is probably staffed during the week.

From the far coroner of the large bottling plant floor I could hear music coming from a sectioned off room. I thought I was pushing my luck to want to get a picture of the unsuspecting employee... but I couldn't resist. I crept silently peering around the corner. alas the room was empty! There was a doorway in the far coroner but I wanted to see some more before i got caught. In a room though a hole in the brick I came across a lot of coffee. I heard something the I thought to be an alarm at this point and jogged over to a dark mech. room with a window out to the factory floor and waited ... the sound stopped about 30 seconds later ( a high pitch buzz, not very loud but coming a far distance). Nothing hap pend for 10 min so I decided to leave.


And that was that. +150pics to my database :)
