#76 “Don’t try and grow your way out of your problems” – John Taylor, Drop Project

“Brewing beer is easy, but producing good beer takes real skill,” John Taylor, co-founder of London’s Drop Project Brewing Co once told us.

With a series of successful and ambitious expansion projects under his belt, John more commonly known as JT, is now the co-founder of Mitcham-based Drop Project.

Along with co-founders Joe Simo (right) and Will Skipsey (middle), the brewery is making waves with excellent lagers and IPAs as well as brilliant sours and stouts.

JT has a wealth of experience when it comes to growing breweries so that’s why we invited him to speak at our Brewers Lectures in Birmingham earlier this week.

In his talk, presented as this week’s podcast, JT says you should always consider consulting your peers before turning to consultants, to pay attention to contracts when working with fellow businesses and to never try and grow your way out of a problem.
