Hammond Brewery accepting donations for Hurricane Helene victims [Video]

HAMMOND, La. — Our neighbors on the Northshore are helping Hurricane Helene victims. 

Gnarly Barley’s Tap Room Manager, Jonathan Cranfield, is familiar with some of the hardest hit areas. He’s hiked the Appalachian Trail since he was a teenager, and he credits North Carolina for how he got into brewing.
