I am delighted to welcome to the Podcast, Greg from Dark Revolution based near Salisbury.

Dark Revolution was launched in 2015, with a simple aspiration to make World class beer. Beer that they can be fiercely proud of and hopefully enjoyed by other beer enthusiasts.

The Grumpy Goat opened in the quirky Harris Arcade near Reading station in 2013, in a tiny unit, where swinging a cat would have been very hazardous to the brilliant stocks of bottles, cans and cheeses!

In Oct 2020, during the darkest days of COVID, they took the opportunity to move into a much larger shop unit, in Union Street, just off Reading's main pedestrianised shopping street. The new unit enabled a much larger stock of beers, wines and spirits, and also a significant expansion of the Deli side of the business.

Finally, and most exciting of all, in August 2022, the Goat Tap was opened above the shop, which is where we are recording from today. 

Conor's father Chris bought Ascot Brewing in 2017, whilst Conor was living in Toronto, becoming enamoured with the amazing Canadian Craft Beer Scene.

When Conor returned to the UK in 2019 father and son decided to launch a Craft focused arm of the business, and Disruption IS Brewing came to life, with a mission of Changing Beer For The Better!

Firebrand was launched in 2008, in a converted milking parlour, on the untamed edge of Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall. The focus is their passion for beer made from all natural ingredients, Cornish spring water and American hops.
