ASTORIA, Ore. —
The Buoy Beer Company is asking for help in cleaning up Pacific Northwest beaches after debris was washed down the Columbia River and out to sea during a collapse at one of their warehouses.

The reward? Free beer, of course.
"We appreciate the overwhelming support from our community and our craft beer friends. You all have been reaching out, asking how to help and we figured out one important step you can help us out with," Buoy said in the Facebook post.
They say the best way for people to help them is by getting out on the coastline to clean up debris.
Buoy said the part of the damaged warehouse contained production materials like labels and cans.
Although we had a debris boom in place quickly, many things were immediately washed down the river and even out to sea. On top of everything else, we feel terrible about this and have had our team and families cleaning up as best as we can.

"While we don't have a place for people to come to get a beer at the moment, if you're able to help do some river or beach cleanups, snap a photo of yourself plus your haul and head over to any Pilot House Distilling tasting room (locations in Astoria, Cannon Beach, and Portland) for a free sample flight for 21+ helpers."All this follows significant damage to their Astoria brewery which suffered a roof collapse.
