We recorded this show on 10/02 and info was current as of that time. As with any developing story additional news could have been shard since then
Asheville and Western NC was devastated as Tropical Storm Helene moved through the area last week. The town was mostly destroyed, along with many breweries, other businesses, and homes.
Updates were difficult as Asheville was cutoff from passage in or out and cell phone and electricity were out. I'm sure that posting updates to social media was not high on the priority list, but we did the best we could to find out what info was availble.
North Carolina needs you
A lot of support will be needed for everyone to recover. Now, and in the future. We curated a list of some charities that are reported as reputable, but we recommend you vet any charity you choose to donate to. If you're in the area and able to volunteer resources are needed there as well.
How you can help:
- Drink!
- Buy and drink North Carolina beer. A simple one that doesn't require much change from your regular drinking schedule.
- NC Craft Brewers Guild Charity Beer | The guild is asking breweries to dedicate an existing tap to Helene recovery efforts. More info: https://drinkncbeer.org/nc-beer-helene-relief
