Bavarian Brewery Turns Beer Keg Purchases Into Food Deliveries for Ukraine

The Uetzing brewer pledges one kilogram of pork jowl per 5‑liter keg to help civilians left without heat after renewed strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid.

Overview

  • Metzgerbräu in Uetzing, Bad Staffelstein, ties each 5‑liter keg sale to one kilogram of Schweinebacken for Ukrainian civilians.
  • Owner Manfred Reichert says 200 kilograms were collected on February 2 and sent to affected areas via private transport.
  • He plans roughly 500 additional kilograms in the coming weeks with deliveries targeted to small villages and the civilian front.
  • The brewery’s Facebook video outlining the pledge has drawn nearly 60,000 views and largely positive reactions.
  • The initiative answers widespread winter power and heating outages following renewed attacks, which Ukraine’s energy minister labeled an attempt at a “winter genocide.”
