Ardbeg and water charity Brewgooder have been working on a project that sees the Islay single malt brand branch out in to the world of beer. The Shortie Smoky Porter, named after Ardbeg's beloved mascot, is the distillery's first ever beer and has been made in limited quantities to support Brewgooder's Global Gathering campaign. All profits will be donated to support clean water projects in Malawi run by Brewgooder.
The one-off beer, which is exclusive to the UK, has been made by William Brothers Brewing Co. and uses the same peated malt used for whisky production at Ardbeg. The Shortie Smoky Porter was announced in conjuction with the World Water Day weekend back in March. The beer is released at 6.2% ABV and will cost £14 for a pack of four cans.
