Meet the Speaker: Alan Mahon, Founder of Brewgooder

We’re back baby, baby! And what a comeback we’ve got lined up for you. We’ve missed all your lovely faces and we’re surfing into the March theme of ‘Water’ with a speaker whose take on beer combines some pretty good ethics with a desire to change the world one drop of beer at a time.

So strap into your seats as Alan Mahon of Brewgooder sits down in the CreativeMornings hot seat to take us on a ride of all things Brewgooder and Glasgow.

1. Tunnock Tea Cakes or Caramel Wafers

Wafers all the way… could tear through a pack in seconds.

2. What’s your first memory of water?

Quite a scary one… I was in Saint Stephen’s Green Park in Dublin with my Mum and I was feeding the ducks at the pond. My Batman toy feel in the water and I reached out to get it and plonked straight in. Luckily someone was on hand to pull me out… Mum had to get me a new set of clothes. Quite the event.

3. Where do you see Brewgooder in five years?

Hopefully having helped 1 million people get access to clean drinking water, and an internationally loved beer brand to boot.

4. If you could describe Glasgow in one word what would it be?

wet-but-beaut

5. What did you want to be when you were 10? And what would 10 year old Alan think of Brewgooder?

I wanted to play to play for Arsenal. I am sure he would love it… probably wouldn’t be too up on the beer side of things.

Thanks for taking to the hot seat Alan and if this quick fire round has wet your appetite for the Brewgooder story make sure you save the morning of Friday 29th January for our comeback event.
