BUDWEISER CAN WATER

BUDWEISER CAN WATER:

Budweiser is called the “King of Beers,” but today its not just for the great taste. The company is acting like a king among the beer companies as it turned its beer canning plant into a canned water plant. Budweiser is canning water to send to the people of New York and New Jersey devastated by Hurricane Sandy according to 

Bartow Neighbor, on Friday Nov. 2, 2012.

More than 4,000 cases of canned water were shipped to the Anheuser-Busch Distributor’s Harrison Beverage in Pleasantville, N.J. and Ritchie & Page Distributing in Robbinsville, N.J. on Friday. This canned water will be available to the American Red Cross and other disaster relief programs.

Brooklyn, New York has requested over 10,000 cases of the canned water and these cases are slated to be delivered to Bennett Field over the weekend. Anheuser-Busch is in the unique position to can and ship large quantities of drinking water and they’ve stepped up to do this.

On top of the canned water shipments, the people from Budweiser announced a $100,000 donation to the American Red Cross for help in the efforts of the storm devastated areas from Sandy. Anheuser-Busch has donated more than 71 million cans of drinking water to areas hit with natural and other disasters over the years.
