EP 05 // Luke Boase // Lucky Saint

Would it be possible to create a beer & brand that would make people feel positive about drinking non-alcoholic beer?  That’s the question Luke Boase asked himself.   I’d say they’ve nailed it.  Bold, pioneering, focused. Lucky Saint is a Founder-led, independent drinks brand that has been built very differently than the ‘norm’ of our industry. And maybe it’s not a coincidence, it’s one of the most iconic drinks brands out there today. And a special thanks to the team Sellar.io [https://sellar.io/] for making PATH Makers come to life.

I sometimes ask myself…What would Bruce do?

He’s completed beer. Tune into Episode 4 to hear the journey, the learnings and some great pieces of wisdom from the most experienced person in beer….Bruce Gray.

EP 03 // Evin O'Riordain // The Kernel Brewery

Everyone knows The Kernel, but does anyone really know The Kernel? When cans and colourful, creative labels became synonymous with craft beer, they didn’t react. When everyone expanded their breweries to meet demand, they didn’t. When investments and acquisitions were everywhere, they never considered that route. And yet, here we are more than 16 years since they started brewing, and The Kernel is widely considered the most influential, iconic modern UK brewery. So who really is The Kernel, and how have they achieved that? Today I sit down with Evin O’Riordain, Founder of The Kernel to discuss just that.
