Manifest Eternity is our ongoing commitment to the long-term recovery and rebuilding of Western North Carolina’s brewing community following Hurricane Helene.
While the immediate aftermath of the storm has passed, recovery has not. Behind the visible rebuilding are ongoing challenges and setbacks—businesses working to regain stability, communities adapting to lasting change, and people continuing to navigate the economic and personal impacts of the storm.
Through Manifest Eternity, we host events, collaborations, and other initiatives that keep attention on the work still ahead while raising funds in partnership with the NC Craft Brewers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) supporting Western North Carolina breweries impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Our goal is to help sustain the long arc of recovery: rebuilding what was lost, supporting stability through the challenges that remain, and ensuring our brewing community continues to move forward together.

“We see the long road ahead and we want to continue to tell the story of Asheville and of our brewing community as individuals and businesses move from the recovery stage to the rebuilding stage.” Says Jess Reiser, Burial’s CEO and Co- Founder. “Manifest Eternity’s goal is to engage people and communities across the country for the next several years to keep much needed funds available through the NC Craft Brewers Foundation’s Hardship Grant Program. Access to this grant will provide breweries with on-going funding opportunities as the path to re-opening becomes closer to being a reality.”
“While this is just the beginning, we are seeing a network of craft breweries around the country come together to rally around our mountain communities. We see so much opportunity for future collaborations to continue to support the re-opening of breweries who lost their spaces in the storm.” - Doug Reiser, Burial’s CSO and Co-Founder.
