JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Seeing empty shelves everywhere? Well, one company and two Jacksonville breweries are offering free drinking water.
To help with hurricane preparedness, Wicked Barley Brewing Company on Baymeadows Road is giving away free, filtered drinking water.
Deirdre Powell's got plenty of full water jugs to help her family prepare for Hurricane Dorian. She was among about 100 people who Wicked Barley said had stopped by as of Thursday to take advantage of the filtered water from its on-site well.
"I think it's very helpful, especially when all the shelves are empty," Powell said.
Because of the opportunity, Powell said she will return to visit Wicked Barley after the storm is long gone. It's a great marketing tool for the brewery, but even more important, Wickey Barley said, is the help it's giving to the community.
"We've even had people bring in peanut butter containers," said Mason Leasure, lead brewer at Wicked Barley. "If it's got a top on it, we'll fill it up for you."
