#147 | Great Beyond: Fostering community in East London

Located in Hoxton, East London, Great Beyond Brewing Company is gaining recognition for our authenticity, community focus, and innovative craft beer. 

Founded by John Driebergen, Ollie Parker, and Nick Walsh, Great Beyond Brewing Company was born from over thirty years of combined brewing experience. During the pandemic, they envisioned a brewery embodying authenticity, community, and sustainability.

At Great Beyond, they are deeply rooted in their community. Actively host events and collaborate with both local and international brands, offering diverse cultural experiences in their taproom.

They also place sustainability at the heart of their ethos at Great Beyond, being committed to using 100% green energy, minimising waste through biofuel conversion, and implementing small-scale CO2 recovery.

Despite numerous challenges, their dedication and hard work have succeeded without a marketing budget or sales team.

In this episode, co-founder John talks us through the brewery’s journey to-date and we discuss how some of their most-loved beers such as Hoxton Fresh and Hoxton Lager continue to evolve and improve alongside the brewery itself.
