DONATE TO COMMON ROOTS

Terrible news came out a yesterday in that Common Roots had burned to the ground. If you don�t know, Common Roots is a brewery in South Glens Falls that makes legit beer for a good price. If you�re into drinking beer that isn�t Miller Lite or Keystone, there�s a good chance that you�ve seen these guys around. They�ve really begun making a name for themselves in Upstate NY and this news couldn�t be more devastating.

I�ve had the absolute privilege of working with someone who is part of the Common Roots family and because I�ve been around this person every day for the last year or so, I can whole heartedly say that her and her family are good people. They are the type of people that they just don�t make any more. They are the type of people who would literally give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it. They are they type of people that will take an extra 5 minutes out of their day just to check in on you and make sure you�re having a good one. I know this because that has happened close to a million times already.

In this messed up world, these are the type of people that give me hope that not everyone is an asshole and every one will be okay. This devastating news literally makes me sick to my stomach because something of this nature should never happen to a group of people like them.

What do we do about this?

We take this negative energy, this terrible news, and we turn it into something positive. We raise money, we help these people get this brewery back up and running as soon as frickin� possible. We let them know how much our community appreciates the things that they do and we help. One thing about the Capital Region and the 518 that I respect the most is that when people are down we can come together and rally. I�ve seen it time and time again and I know this won�t be any different. Again, I�m not asking for millions of dollars but even if you have a dollar or 5, it will go a long way in helping this wonderful group of people get back as soon as they can.

There�s nothing that can be done now except go forward. This is one setback for a MAJOR comeback and I would never bet against Common Roots and their people. Donate here For Common Roots.
