BrewBroker, Join the Beer Revolution

Our founders are the creators of Craft Beer Rising, the UK’s largest consumer and trade beer festival. From this they went onto create their own beer brand but found the whole experience frustrating and difficult, as finding the right brewing partners and managing the production of their beer was a minefield.

It was from these experiences that the team saw huge growth in the craft beer market but also fragmentation, inefficiencies and wastage at every stage of the process of producing and selling beer. They set out to create a more efficient and sustainable brewing industry. BrewBrokerwas born.

2 years on BrewBroker is now the biggest online marketplace for producing beer with over 500 traders across 27 countries. Our plans are nothing but ambitious with world domination and other industries very much in our sights.

Put simply this is what we’re about

  • Our vision :In an industry estimated to be worth $805 billion by 2024 BrewBroker will become the biggest brewer in the world, without owning a brewery.
  • Our mission: To help the industry become more sustainable, efficient and robust by matching existing resources with demand.

With your help we can make this a reality!
