HOOSICK — The brewer for Brown's Brewing Company died at his home Tuesday when the tractor he was riding flipped, Rensselaer County Sheriff Patrick Russo said Thursday.

At about 8 p.m., Peter Martin was pulling stumps out of his 1254 Pine Valley Road property when the chain hooked to the back of his tractor caused the machinery to flip and crush him, Russo said. Russo said the county medical examiner pronounced Martin dead at the scene.
