BrewDog Hand Sanitizer
BrewDog has already made and donated over £1m worth of BrewDog Sanitizer to health care charities, key frontline workers and hospitals. And even after their first batch was rejected by the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, they just smiled and got it right.
BrewDog’s Columbus brewery has also produced hand sanitizers that is being donated to US health care charities as well as police officers & fire fighters in Ohio.

In support of health workers battling COVID-19, BrewDog released the NHS Heroes Pack. They’ve already sold thousands online and 100% of its profits goes straight to the NHS Heroes charity.
