After a sell-out event in November, Hallway and Craftwork Growth Club are kicking off the year with more great speakers from the world of craft beer.

Join us and others in the industry for an evening of beers, networking and talks from industry leading craft beer business owners and thought-leaders who have successfully sought external funding.

Learn about the challenges and benefits of crowdfunding and whether it is a viable option to fund your business growth in 2018.

Event Highlights:

JAMES YEOMANS - HOPSTUFF BREWERY

Don’t miss James Yeomans, owner of Hop Stuff Brewery, who will be sharing his experience of crowdfunding and how he grew from a sole-trader to a £1million business, growing at over 100% per year.

Learn how he approached funding to become a global exporter, and how a recent £2million investment has allowed Hop Stuff to expand tap rooms and brewing capacity, to become one of the fastest growing breweries in London today.

ANDREW MORGAN - THE BOTTLE SHOP

We've also got the excellent Andrew Morgan, owner and founder of The Bottle Shop, who will be investigating the alternatives to Crowdfunding, discussing how he sought private funding, and the differences in seeking Private Equity vs Angel Investment vs Crowdfunding.
