London based brewery, Signature Brew recently announced their crowdfunding campaign and we’re digging it. Having been long time fans of punk rock and going to gigs, we find it tiresome having to drink macro lager at big music venues and festivals but times are a-changin’ and Signature Brew are leading the way.

Having collaborated with a string of awesome bands across a variety of genres, they want to make good beer accessible to music fans – and are combining their love of great beer and live music in doing so. If they can successfully raise the investment required, they’ll be one step closer to ridding the world of rubbish beer at gigs, and if that’s not a good reason to invest, we don’t know what is…

Thankfully, we found someone who does. Signature Brew’s Head of Marketing, John Longbottom, was kind enough to chat to us, filling us in on all the details of the crowdfunding campaign, future plans and loads more. Before joining his best mates at Signature Brew, John was News Editor at Kerrang! for several years so these guys know their music as well as their beers!

Beer Interviews No Reply

Whiplash are the most exciting brewery in Ireland right now. This Kildare based brewery have been creating some magical beers, particularly in the last 12 months, and especially their DIPAs, IPAs and Pale Ales which are right up there with the best produced anywhere in the world right now.

The artwork that adorns their beers is pretty special, too. It may be trite to say that ‘beer is art’ but Whiplash have created cans to wow your eyes and brews to wow your tastebuds. These beers really are beauties, in every sense.

Sophie De Vere is the designer responsible for Whiplash’s lovely cans – and she was kind enough to take some time-out to have a chat with us about the beers, the creative process and more!
