#25 How one brewery keeps coming back

In 1986, Margaret Thatcher was prime
minister, Germany was still divided, a deal was signed to build the Chunnel,
and Nethergate Brewery began pouring its first craft beer – although that was
an expression no one was using back then.

Named after the road it was located on in
East Anglia, over the years it could have easily renamed itself Phoenix
Brewery, due to its rising from financial ashes more than once.

Today, in all aspects the award-winning
brewery is stronger than ever. This is due to the brewery understanding its
customers, giving them the beer that they want, and because of the work of
general manager Rob Crawford and his ability to bring in investors while
Nethergate maintains control of the brewery.

For those of you who think an accountant is the wrong person to head your craft brewery, think again, as this episode will prove to the most skeptical.
