Brewser’s 3rd Birthday: A Journey Worth Celebrating

Written by

Three years ago, myself and 3 friends set out to reshape how craft beer lovers connect with breweries. Launching Brewser was no small feat—it took 10 months of dedication to create a never-before-seen subscription model. One that gave consumers unparalleled flexibility to plan ahead, choose from hundreds of products and directly support their favourite independent breweries.

However, starting something brand new always comes with challenges and uncertainties.

Mid-pandemic, with the whole team dedicating evenings and weekends to Brewser, I had lost my day job due to COVID so had time on my hands to hit the road in my mum’s car. Armed with little more than a PowerPoint presentation and a barrel load of passion for the industry I love, I visited breweries across the UK to share Brewser’s vision. The result? A resounding “yes” from 40+ breweries and a boot full of free beer!

Thanks to a scrappy pre-launch campaign (and plenty of determination), we welcomed 400 subscribers on day one… we were gob smacked! Fast forward three years, and Brewser now partners with over 100 breweries and producers, introducing thousands of beer enthusiasts to incredible brews while giving breweries a platform to shine.

We’ve had lots of standout moments so far and have been lucky enough to collaborate with some of the best in UK craft beer, bringing exclusive products to market and creating campaigns that keep the industry buzzing.

2 years in we welcomed our first full-time employee. Ash has become an integral part of the Brewser family and we don’t know how we ever managed without him!

From our launch in my isolated self-built tiny home in Wales (internet powered by my phones hotspot!) To 3 years on… A (slightly) more professional set up, with a growing team & driving around in my own van (thanks mum). Brewser’s growth is a testament to the power of the community, innovation, and a shared love of great beer.

As we toast our third birthday, the mission remains the same: to craft and connect the ultimate community of beer explorers.

Thank you all for being part of the journey—cheers to the next chapter! 🍻
