While we usually like to keep things light here at the Bevie and give you all the good news about the liquids that you love, it is critical to us, as people, to take time to reflect on the world around us, the effect the we have upon it, and the potential that we have to affect the systems that move that world. Like the rest of the globe, we have been disturbed and deeply saddened by the  events surrounding the invasion of Ukraine and the strife inflicted upon the Ukrainian people by forces beyond their control.

We support the state of Vermont’s decision to remove spirits imported directly from Russia from our shelves, and at this time we wish to take things a step further. This week, we will be donating the equivalent of 100% of our profits from the sales of all Russian-owned spirits brands since January 1, 2021, to Ukrainian humanitarian relief funds. While the support that we can provide to our brothers and sisters half a world away may seem small, we give it gladly, and in the hope that the rest of our community will join us in helping in whatever small ways that they can as well. Below is a short list of trusted aid organizations that we hope you can join us in supporting at this time. Any amount helps.
