Stegall, who said he’d save the beers for “after” covering the hurricane, later tweeted about the encounter and thanked the kind Galvestonian for her gift, even calling the moment a “good photobomb” that brought levity to a dire situation.
You never know who you'll meet or what will happen, when reporting the news. Thanks for the gift (what she gave me, not the tornado alert.) https://t.co/MBabaMADTc

We all need a little laugh, in the middle of a moment like this! Took me by surprise, in a good way! Thanks for your message. https://t.co/3iD7jf5yqJ

Now that's what I call a GOOD photo bomb! She was very sweet and even gave me a hug… moment of levity, reporting on serious matters. https://t.co/KlBM02jb7C

As for the woman, she doesn’t work for the brewery. Galveston Island Brewing marketing director Charday Van Orstrand told the Wrap that she was just showcasing “southern hospitality at its finest.”
Or, to put it another way, it was her southern hops-pitality shining through.
Update 5:48pm CT: In a tweet sent to the Daily Dot, Stegall said he’s hoping to link up with the kind woman who brought him the beer on Sunday. Being that he’s barely had a chance to sleep while covering the storm, he hasn’t had a chance to take a sip. But he’s still planning on drinking when the work is done.
Hey there, it was Galveston Island Brewing’s Tiki Wheat. We've made contact with the woman who brought it and hope to link up tomorrow. https://t.co/CXtBToVS3h

Unfortunately, have not tried it yet — been working the storm non-stop and trying to squeeze in some sleep when we can. #drinkwhenitsover
