Measured Impact

Ep4. Tapping into Impact with Alan Mahon & James Hughes


Listen Later

In this episode of Measured Impact, Neil sits down with Alan and James, the co-founders of the purpose-led craft beer brand Brewgooder. What started as a naive 100% profit-to-charity model driven by a half-baked pun has evolved into a sustainable, top-10 UK craft beer brand that champions clean water, food security, and global solidarity.

Alan and James get candid about the danger of relying solely on an impact message, the realities of scaling a values-driven business in a highly competitive market, and the mechanics behind their bold "Sun & Stone" collaboration with a Palestinian brewery. Tune in to learn how they are proving that doing good and brewing great beer are not mutually exclusive.
