at the speed they had to get those cans, or at least labels printed up, I would have thought that it would have required a significant amount of lead time.

When I lived in the NYC area, I was aware of New Jersey brewers who were making special beer with the proceeds going to Sandy relief, and the year before that, Long Trail released a "Goodnight Irene" to raise funds for the people impacted by the flooding from Hurricane Irene's remnants.

The craft beer community looks out for each other, and for the communities they serve, much more often than not, in my experience.
