When natural disasters strike those affected need all sorts of aid and something simple as clean drinking water is often on top of that list. AB-InBev and Miller do a great job getting clean canned drinking water into disaster areas. This year craft breweries have stepped up to the plate to help as well with both Oskar Blues and now Cincinnati’s own Braxton Brewing sending in canned water.

Here is Braxton’s full press release:

On Thursday, September 7th, Braxton Brewing Company will be using their canning line for a new purpose — drinking water. In partnership with several suppliers, the Covington-based brewery will be filling 1,000 cases of 12 oz. cans with filtered drinking water. These cans will be sent to Houston and Louisiana to support Hurricane Harvey flood relief efforts.

“Evan (Co-Founder & COO of Braxton Brewing Company) and I had a few conversations with those actively helping in Houston and learned that drinking water was one of their biggest needs,” said Jake Rouse, Co-Founder & CEO of Braxton Brewing Company. “We’ve always tried to use Braxton as a vehicle for doing good, so we made a few calls to local companies who helped us re-label existing can inventory, pause production, and fill them with filtered drinking water.”

Braxton Brewing Company, along with several other partners, will be donating products and materials to make this possible. Klöckner Pentaplast, Schawk!, Safety Seal Shrink Sleeve Specialists, Fasttrack Packaging, Verst Group Packaging and Integrity Express Logistics have all donated efforts to this cause.

Second Harvest Foodbank in Lafayette, Louisiana will be distributing the canned water throughout Houston and Louisiana on the brewery’s behalf.
