Awoke today with a cat on my lap, furnace running, house warm, coffee made, clothes dry and a caring wife by my side. Many people on our local streets have nothing. Despite what brings the homeless into homelessness, we are all in this world together. Please help one another during this bitterly cold time in Portland. We're all human beings.

Bring warm socks, gloves, hats, handwarmers and the like to Montavilla Brew Works TODAY and I'm personally going to put $2 towards your first pint of beer. Then we're going to deliver all donated items to the Montavilla Warming Shelter happening at 81st and SE Pine this weekend. Hope to see you at the taproom today for a good cause.

Cheers, Michael
