250 Breweries in 24 countries have announced a coalition and fundraising effort to try and tackle the worldwide water crisis. The movement has been organized by Scottish social group Brewgooder. Full details on this ambitious effort are below.
A total of 250 brewers from 24 countries will simultaneously release unique, small-batch beers to bring clean water to developing countries - and it’s all because of Brewgooder.
The Scottish social enterprise on a mission to bring clean drinking water to one million people in developing countries has launched its biggest campaign yet, the Global Gathering, which will take place one month from today, on World Water Day (March 20-22).
The collaborative project has received backing from brewers in 173 cities in 24 different countries - from Vancouver to Vietnam.
Each Global Gathering brew will raise more than £500 towards a fundraising target of £250,000 for the overall campaign. All proceeds will be donated to The Brewgooder Foundation and spent on its clean water projects in 2020/21.
Alan Mahon, Brewgooder’s founder, said: “The Global Gathering shows what the craft beer community is capable of when we collaborate and use our shared passion to make a positive impact. It’s the beginning of a worldwide movement. By working together, we will help empower 100,000 people by giving them clean water, something the rest of us take for granted.
