#34 Signature Brew | Bringing brilliant beer to the masses

If you want something done right, do it yourself.”

This mentality has led to the creation countless companies and brands over the years.

In the world of beer, brewers across the globe have taken to making their own beers in a bid to recreate styles that captured their imagination during their travels. In doing so, we’ve ended up with  a wealth of excellent new breweries and beers.

For Tom Bott and Sam McGregor, cousins bonded by a love of live music and great beer, their decision to start Signature Brew came from frustration of the evident inability to marry those passions.

You either had a pub or bar with great beer, or a favourite venue that only poured an endless array of dull macro lagers. It was time to take things into their own hands.

In this podcast, we speak to Tom and Sam about the journey of Signature Brew, starting out over a pint back in 2011 to the new brewery in Walthamstow, London, they call home today.

And this journey has involved significant expansion, numerous awards and collaborations with top music-industry names.

Producing a wealth of excellent beers, they’ve successfully combined their two passions. And they’ve not only brought great beer to the live music arena, they’re part of it, too.
