Myrick the Asiapundit and one of our corrspondents from China has a post up about the role China's oldest brewer, Harbin Beer, is playing in the disaster in that city. Harbin's river and water supply has been contaminated with benzene but the brewery has deep wells and bottling facilities which have been brought into production to aid the citizenry. The same capacity for brewers to supply safe water has been seen this year in Sri Lanka and, I believe, New Orleans as well.
