When you’re down on your luck, the little things can make a world of difference.

Carlton & United Breweries has put together a shipment, dropping almost two dozen kegs and more than 250 cases of beer and cider to HMAS Cerberus.

It’ll arrive in Mallacoota by boat this weekend.

Lou Battel, owner of the Mallacoota Hotel, said it’d lift the spirits of those still in town, including firefighters, army members and other emergency service workers.
