Regardless of where you live, chances are you’ve seen the devastation of the recent wildfires in Southern California. Rod & Hammer’s California Whiskey recently announced two initiatives to support the wildfire relief efforts.

The first initiative is called “Songs of Solace.” It will be a concert to benefit Los Angeles Wildfire Relief. They’re also announcing the launch of a special-edition whiskey called Wildfire Resilience Straight Bourbon. Both will raise money to help support communities impacted by the wildfires and firefighters working tirelessly to put them out.

The concert to benefit LA Wildfire Relief will take place on Sunday, January 26, from noon to 8 PM at Rod & Hammer Rock in San Luis Obispo, California.

“Songs of Solace” is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of community spirit and resilience. “This is an opportunity to come together and support those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles,” Ryan Orr, talent buyer for SLO Brew Live, said in a press release. “We’re honored to feature such incredible local talent and give back in a meaningful way.”

“At Rod & Hammer’s, we believe in turning gratitude into action,” Rodney Cegelski, Co-founder at Rod & Hammer’s, said in a press release. “This handcrafted bourbon symbolizes resilience and courage while directly benefiting those affected by the fires.”

It's that time of year again. And no, we're not talking about Valentine's Day (although that is on the horizon). We're talking about Hot Toddy season. The frigid winter months are the perfect time of year for this warming drink of whiskey, lemon juice, honey, and hot water.

Misunderstood Whiskey Co. knows all about the appeal of this timeless, boozy winter warmer. But instead of simply releasing a recipe for a flavorful, warming Hot Toddy, this popular brand is announcing the return of its charity campaign, "Have A Toddy, Help Somebody."
