Launching today, Brewgooder is aiming to partner with 500 international breweries to brew unique, small-batch beers which will be released on World Water Day in March 2020.

To date, 100 breweries have confirmed their involvement in the project representing 11 countries, including BrewDog, Beavertown, Tiny Rebel, Tempest, Vocation, Siren and Harbour in the UK, as well as Brooklyn Brewery and their renowned brewmaster Garrett Oliver, Avery Brewing, and Rhinegeist in the United States, with hundreds of invitations having been sent to craft brewers in almost every country asking them to represent their city, town or area.

Each individual collaboration brew will raise upwards of £500, contributing to a fundraising target of £250,000 for the whole project.

All proceeds will be donated to The Brewgooder Foundation, to support its clean water projects.

Alan Mahon, founder of Brewgooder, said: “The Global Gathering aims to bring together one of the most vibrant and passionate communities in the world in order to show what craft beer dan do when it acts together. The craft beer community is no stranger to collaboration, but this project takes that to a whole new level, harnessing it to help empower 100,000 people. Breweries of every size have the opportunity to not only brew some amazing beers as part of a global movement but also have a very real impact on peoples’ lives around the world.”

Every pint of beer created for the Global Gathering will support and accelerate Brewgooder’s numerous projects in Malawi, which include well rehabilitations, new borehole construction, sanitation systems and water mapping to ensure the long term sustainability of well constructions.

The foundation has already supported over 132 clean water projects and positively impacted 64,478 lives and counting.
