Injury was luckily avoided at Islington Thursday afternoon after a traffic crash caused a vehicle to careen into the storefront of Method Brewing on Maitland Road.
The suburban brewery was due to open at 2pm, moments before the crash, when it was said a vehicle leaving an adjacent laneway collided with traffic on Maitland Road and subsequently crashed into the front of the business.
The drivers, as well as the employees inside the brewery at the time, were uninjured.
A vehicle was in the process of being towed from the scene around 3pm.
Method Brewing opened its Islington premises in June, joining the likes of FogHorn, Modus Operandi, Styx and Rogue Scholar in independently producing beer in Newcastle's inner suburbs.
