Anheuser Bush has ceased beer production in Georgia and will instead ship water to the northeast for disaster relief.

QuoteThe brewery plans on shipping 1 million cans of drinking water to New York and New Jersey from its Cartersville, Ga., brewery, MyFoxAtlanta reports.

The GM of the plant said:

Quote"When you look at the devastation, this is the least thing that we can do. We're good at this. This is our way of helping," said Haas.

Bravo for them.

Not all those who wander are lost;

Smart. That is serious good will building in the area for little cost to them. Many people will switch brands as a reply.

it would be smarter if they shipped in free beer!
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I'll buy when they start making a beer I enjoy drinking. However, I'm thrilled to see this kind of support for the community, and I'll remember this the next time I decide to try one of the mass-produced brews.

It would be even smarter if they started making decent beer to begin with!

Seriously though, good initiative by them.

Good on them! They have done this before. IRRC it was after Hurricane Irene.


EDIT: They have been doing it a while it seems:

QuoteSince 1988, Anheuser-Busch has donated more than 70 million cans of drinking water following natural and other disasters.

Couldn't agree more!! ;) Besides those folks need cheering up after all they've been through. :)

They have been doing this for a very long time.  I have a can of "bud water" that I use in class occasionally that came from the early 1990s.

Question - is Bud Water any different from Bud Lite?

A neat move by a good company that makes crap beer.

I hope the other companies don't try to ship H2O too... because that would be deadly. (A little chemistry humor).
