Breweries across South Florida have pooled their resources to help communities in the Bahamas that were decimated by Hurricane Dorian.

Dorian made landfall in the northern Bahamas September 1 as a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 185 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, and was stationary over the area for nearly two days. At least 20 deaths have been attributed to Dorian in Abaco and Grand Bahama alone, according to the Nassau Guardian.

Breweries from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach have organized their efforts to donate supplies and raise money for those affected.

The brewery is hosting a music festival this Saturday, September 7, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. to benefit Dorian relief efforts. The benefit will offer food trucks, raffles, and live music by bands such as Speed the Dub, Hell and Holler, and others. One dollar from every beer sold will be donated to relief. The brewery is also accepting donations of supplies such as water, canned goods, and dog food.

Tarpon River Brewing

Lisa Siegel from Tarpon River Brewing and Riverside Market says her team rounded up four 50-foot shipping containers holding items such as medical supplies, food, clothes, and dozens of pallets of water.

Siegel met with officials in the shipping and aviation industries Monday. She adds that Cliff Berry Inc., located less than a mile from Riverside Market South, donated the four shipping containers. Siegel received clearance from the Bahamian government to deliver the containers via boat Saturday.

The call for donations was announced on social media, Siegel says, and the donations flowed into Tarpon River Brewing, Riverside Market, and other drop-off locations in a matter of hours. Siegel adds there will be a second call for donations — of items such as tents, tools, and rebuilding supplies — but they can't be accepted now due to logistical reasons.

Tarpon River Brewing is also organizing several benefit events over the weekend, including a $28 spinning class hosted by Cyclebar Fort Lauderdale this Friday, September 6, that includes a Tarpon River beer. Siegel says a benefit concert will take place Tarpon River Sunday, September 7.

She's asking the public to donate money to the Hope 4 Hope Town — Abaco Islands Relief Fund GoFundMe page, which has raised more than $260,000 as of Wednesday evening.
