Overview

  • Co-op confirmed nationwide availability starting 10 September, following an online launch via Brewgooder.
  • Sales proceeds will support Taybeh Brewing and the Disasters Emergency Committee, with Brewgooder producing at zero profit according to the partners.
  • The rollout follows Co-op’s new ethical-sourcing policy that ends purchases from 17 countries flagged for human-rights concerns, including Israel.
  • Taybeh and Brewgooder say UK production enables distribution despite checkpoint delays, customs restrictions and rising costs that hinder direct exports from the West Bank.
  • The decision has drawn criticism from some politicians and the Board of Deputies of British Jews, while Co-op says the move aligns with its values-driven campaign.
