We wanted to launch our label with a bang – taking the world’s most popular style of beer and using it to provide access to clean water for 1,000,000 people. What’s more, our lager is the product of a close collaboration with craft brewing partners and punk pioneers, BrewDog. With BrewDog’s track record in making some of the world’s best tasting and most recognisable craft beers, we think we’ve found the perfect partner to make sure that what’s inside our cans is the best lager we can make.
The Clean Water recipe comes from deep within the locker of BrewDog’s most experimental brewer, Stephen Allerston. Stephen brewed the first 1000 litres back on the 19th January, inspired by the Brewgooder mission to make a unique and full flavoured lager. Made with a unique blend of Saaz and Sorachi Ace hops – with a touch of wheat for that perfectly poured, foamy head – this craft beer takes the best of lager heritage and gives it a modern Eastern twist.
Our partnership with BrewDog has also allowed us to carry out our first production run of 200,000 cans right here in Scotland, adding to the growing list of great beers the country has produced over the past 10 years.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the offie on Broadway Market. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold with a small, foamy white head. Simple cereal flakes in the aroma, some biscuits, hay, lemon meringue. Light sweet flavour with minimal bitterness, some straw, doughy biscuits. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Alright balance to finish, yet more cereal and biscuits, very slight bitter hay. Fine simple lager.

Can from Beer52. Pale gold with a tiny white head and a light but prickly fizz. Oat biscuits up front, then sweetcorn, lemon sherbet, butter, and a little grass. Dry finish. Grew on me but maybe not quite enough- the sweetcorn was always there in the background. Precious little evidence of the supposed noble hop, but plenty of noble intent, which let’s face it is much better any way.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Max. Yellow with a white head. Aroma of grassy and lemongrassy hops, corn, graininess, a bit of weird manure character. Sweetish flavor with graininess, corn, bitterish grassy hops. Light-bodied.

On keg at Brewdog Bar. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Nose - light corn, green beans. A bit of malt bag but a touch of spice too. Encouraging lager notes. Taste - light lemon and more green veg. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yes they can brew!

Taste comprises sweet malts, soft bread, vanilla, toasted grains, lemon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a restrained sorachi close. Decent crisp pils with an edge.

33cl can from Beer52.com. A straw coloured pour with a very loose white head and lots of carbonation; cereal grain aroma; sweet and bland in the mouth with a corn syrup taste; and a light grassy bitterness leading to a dry grassy finish. Instantly forgetable, but at least there is a charitable intent.
