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.”
