Don't miss our visit to Small Beer Brewery on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fmcgguys/ and YouTube: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spyros-tryfonas-81aba886/

Felix James and James Grundy are the founders of Small Beer, a mid-strength (2.1 to 2.7% ABV) brewery based in South Bermondsey, London. They join Daniel to speak about their journey as Founders, why they decided to go all-in into this category, routes to market and much more.

Tune in to hear about:

What "mid-strength" beer actually means and why it sits between 0.0% and full-strength for people who still want a proper beer
Why Small Beer exists and how it's trying to solve a very modern problem: keeping the ritual and flavour without paying for it the next day
How they brew for flavour first instead of making a normal beer and stripping the alcohol out later
The early days of the business, from 6:30am coffees and weekend brewing to shipping first orders
The tough early moment when they personally drove around hundreds of stores to replace beer that was good, but not good enough
Their growth plans on and off trade
