Sussex Brewery WJ King has joined forces with local charity Drop4Drop to help provide clean drinking water to an Indian village. WJ King will be building a well in a village called the 'Mulla Community', which has a population of 1,032 people and is based in East Goddavari, Andhra Pradesh, India.
In addition, WJ King will be providing one litre of clean drinking water to this village for every bottle of WJ King bottle conditioned real ale they sell during all of 2012.
Ian Burgess, Head Brewer at WJ King commented ‘It seemed like an obvious connection, we will use approximately 5 pints of water for every pint of WJ King real ale we make and yet there are people in the world without a drop to drink.”
WJ King is committed to supporting its wider community, both at home and abroad and the sponsorship of the well for the Mulla Community represents the 50th community sponsorship undertaken since Ian became head brewer in 2010.
