Brewing up clean water
We’re now stocking Brewgooder in some of our stores – a beer that supports our efforts to provide clean water supplies around the world.
Brewgooder co-founders, Alan Mahon and Josh Littlejohn, were both tackling homelessness in Scotland before combining their passion for craft beer and helping others. Now, all of the profits that Brewgooder makes are donated to water charities… something that’s close to our hearts given our support for the Global investment Fund for Water and our donation of 3p/ltr from sales of our Fairbourne Springs water to the One Foundation.
Alan Mahon said that selling Brewgooder through the Co-op makes sense given the synergy between our ethical trading and existing support for clean water projects. And Jake Woods, our beer buyer, said that we’re delighted to champion a beer that also makes a positive difference to thousands of lives. (You might also like to read Alan’s blog post he’s written for us.)
Brewgooder is run as a social enterprise, and with Social Saturday coming up next week, this is a great time to be celebrating the differences that social enterprises make.

Leanne and David… I’ve now added the list of Co-op stores stocking Brewgooder to the story above. Sorry for the delay. Thanks ^Kevin
Thanks Kevin – I will try some.
thank you!
Hmmm, their website has Asda and the Odeon cinema as stockists but sadly not Co-op.
Still no update on the Brewgooder site or here, does anyone know which stores stock this?
Sorry for the delay… I am trying to get the store list and I know the Brewgooder folks want the list too so they can update their site… ^Kevin
Sounds hopeful, thank you.
I love this! Is there a list of the Co-op stores stocking the beer anywhere? Thanks.
Hi Leanne. I’ll see what I can do to get one. I think it’s in around 100 stores at the moment. ^Kevin
Great stuff – thanks Kevin
Hi Leanne.
There could have been a digital one – what ever happened the Digital Range Finder ?
