For four weeks, BrewDog also donated 20% of proceeds from Pink IPA and Punk IPA – the gender pay gap in the UK – to two charities that support women and fight inequality: [9to5](https://donate.9to5.org/) and [Women’s Engineering Society](http://www.wes.org.uk/). ## Advertisement   > Paws for Thought is a golden orange pale ale brewed with locally grown Maris Otter > malt and dominated by German Mandarina Bavaria hops which give it a low bitterness > and subtle orange and citrus flavour/aroma notes!
