Meet Olive Veronesi, a 93-year-old woman who went viral last week after this photo of her holding up a sign while in a corona quarantine saying, “I NEED MORE BEER”:

Well, Olive, ask and you shall receive. Coors Light came through in a major way, dropping off a reported 150 beers to the local hero:
We came. We saw. We delivered to a friend in need. Cheers, Olive! #TakeTimeToChill pic.twitter.com/EisV8Lp1k0
