Beer & Company Beer & Company

This week we are joined by Adrian, founder of Belleville Brewing Company down in Balham, South London.

At Belleville, a small group of professionals of different skillsets joined together like a very adult Magnificent Seven story where they traded cowboy guns (and throwing knives, I know some of you know about the knife guy in the Magnificent Seven!) for hops, malt, liquor and yeast to produce a fine fine brewery.

Jack speaks with Adrian about hops and the economics surrounding it all, the history of punk music and where Belleville Brewery started and wants to head.

Pop a coffee on, or crack open a beer, or head to the gym, or switch on your car stereo for your morning commute and enjoy!

This week we join Alex and Chris from By The Horns in their rather echoey brewery taphouse. Round the corner were taps galore drawing straight from their stores of beer from the brewery and also some guest taps. We sat down on some benches in a rather echoey room that in about 5 hours time would have been filled with their masses of fans sinking a few jars after a long day!

Jack and the guys talked about their crowdfunding campaign, the origins of the brewery and how it feels to take the dive into running a brewery. They go into a little detail on the battle for cask at the time of recording and generally have a lovely time!

This week we are joined by James Yeomans, Founder of Hop Stuff Brewery in South East London, one of London's fastest growing breweries. At the time of recording James is coming off from a successful crowdfunding campaign allowing him to grow his operation and invest in more brewtaps across the city (and elsewhere)!

He explains his insights in the craft beer space: the good, bad and ugly. He goes into where he is trying to position Hop Stuff as stepping stone between the premium and super premium beer markets.

Jack and James also go into the idea of crowdfunding where James shares his opinions of when it is done right and some examples of when it really isn't.
