A local brewery is going out of its way to ensure its employees have cash in their pockets during El Paso's Stay Home, Work Safe order.

Aurellia's Bottle Shop and Brewhouse will brew a special beer with 100% of proceeds going to employees.

Justin Gibson, co-owner of the brewhouse, has laid off 10 employees since Gov. Greg Abbott's statewide order.

The statewide order closing bars went into effect on March 20. He currently has nine employees he is working hard to keep on the payroll.

Gibson said the donation will include employees laid off and is expecting to produce 140-160 bottles.

The brewery mentioned on Facebook this will be their biggest beer brewed to-date, a whopping 15.3% ABV.

The imperial stout, dubbed "We're All In This Together," will be aged on Madagascar vanilla and Korintje cinnamon.

"Instead of sell(ing) the beer, and in order to help take care of my amazing staff who have stuck with me through all of this - I'm donating 100% of the sales to my employees," Gibson said on Facebook.

The local brewhouse plans to hold a bottle release on April 7.

You can make a donation either by phone at 915-996-9051, or via the online portal at Aurellias.com.

Molson Coors brewery lends a hand during coronavirus crisis

Molson Coors is allowing most at-risk employees paid leave for the month of April that will provide 60% of their regular wages. People whose work must be done on-site and who choose to continue working will see enhanced safety measures including an aggressively sanitized work environment and new social distancing protocols.

They will also receive an extra $5 per hour during this period of higher risk of coronavirus exposure. Molson Coors is also issuing bonuses of $200 per week to salaried employees who continue working, and whose work must be done on-site.

"These are challenging times for the world and our company," CEO Gavin Hattersley said in a press release, "and our priority is to ensure the safety of our people and the stability of our business."

The company said the moves are needed to help ensure the smooth operation of its brewery and distribution networks.
