Beer Giant Anheuser-Busch Stops Brewing Beer To Provide Water For Texas Storm Victims

May 29, 2015

Anheuser-Busch stopped beer production at its Georgia brewery this week to instead produce drinking water for those affected by the flooding and storms in Texas and Oklahoma.

"Right now our production line is running emergency drinking water instead of beer," Cartersville, Georgia brewery manager Rob Haas told NBC News.

About 2,000 cases, each carrying 24 cans, are en route to communities in Texas and Oklahoma, he added.

Anheuser-Busch has partnered with the American Red Cross to iron out the logistics of the water shipments and what areas they were needed the most.

The water is expected to reach those areas within the next few days.
