Brewgooder is offering customers the chance to support its clean water projects by paying between 1p and £100 for a six-pack

Beer drinkers will be allowed to pay what they want for a six-pack of lager.

Scottish social enterprise Brewgooder is offering 1000 packs of its beer as part of the initiative, with customers able to pay between one penny and £100.

The organisation donates 100% of its profits to fund clean water and sanitation projects across the globe.

Alan Mahon, founder of Brewgooder, said: "We believe that when beer drinkers learn about our mission and what we do with our profits, they will be more than happy to pay an amount that fairly reflects the cause and the quality of our lager.

"Every case that we sell at retail value allows us to provide clean water access for a person in Malawi for over two years.

"Our hope is twofold - that we'll be proven correct and that the value paid echoes that of the impact and we manage to attract a new range of Brewgooder drinkers that can help bring us closer to achieving our overall mission: To provide clean water to one million people across the world."

Brewgooder has helped more than 40,000 people across Malawi gain access to clean water and plans to expand its clean water project into a second country, Ghana, in 2019. The social enterprise aims to have helped 100,000 people by the end of 2019.

The pay what you want beer packs are available online from noon today (Tuesday 23 October).
