I wanted to give proper respect to morebeer.com. Here is what they did: I live in Northern California where the town of Paradise got absolutely destroyed by the Camp Fire. I used to teach in Paradise and know a lot of people that lost their homes. My one friend whose friendship has grown due to homebrewing was able to escape the flames with his family, but lost their home and all his brewing equipment. He just started brewing and his excitement of the hobby motivated me to brew even more. With everything that is needed for these families to recover it would be hard to justify spending money on brewing equipment when you need all the essentials of daily life. I felt like I wanted to do something so I reached out to as many online brewing supply business that I could think of and told them his story. Most of them replied with their deepest condolences and were working with other groups to possibly help, but they couldn't help individuals. Except Morebeer. They got back to me right away and Richard said they wanted to help my friend directly. Tomorrow I will receive their premium homebrew starter kit that I will hold for my friend until his housing situation is stabilized. He is beyond grateful. They did not have to do this, but they did. It will bring a bit of calmness to such a choatic situation. I know there are many homebrewers in Paradise that lost everything, but my friend I knew the best and thanks to Morebeer he will hopefully be brewing again soon. Thank you for taking the time for reading this and THANK YOU MOREBEER!
