The water will be used at Red Cross shelters and distributed by volunteers.

"Throughout the year, we periodically pause beer production at our Cartersville, Georgia brewery to produce emergency canned drinking water so we are ready to help out communities across the country in times of crisis. Putting our production and logistics strengths to work by providing safe, clean drinking water is the best way we can help in these situations," Brewmaster Sarah Schilling told FOX 5 News.
