Anheuser-Busch Stopped Making Beer to Can Water for Flood Victims
Nikki Schwab Staff Writer
Cheers to Anheuser-Busch. The big-time brewer has suspended beer-making in its Georgia brewery and is instead canning water for flood victims in Texas and Oklahoma, according to NBC News.
Production at the Cartersville, Georgia, brewery — one of 12 Anheuser-Busch runs in the United States — was halted late Wednesday to instead produce cans of water for the American Red Cross. Overall about 2,000 cases, with 24 cans each, are heading to communities in need in Texas and Oklahoma. That’s 51,744 cans overall, according to the Washington Post.
This isn’t a one-time deal either. The company has provided 73 million cans of emergency drinking water to people in need since 1988.
