Welcome to the Fourpure Podcast. This episode is a taproom special.

We also speak to Devine, another new starter, who takes on a role in HR. Listen in.
Welcome to the May 2019 podcast for Fourpure. I'm Daniel Neilson and in this episode, we meet two new starters. Alex has joined us in logistics and when he's not bombing around in forklift, he's finding great spots in London to go skating. We also meet office manager Katarina and talk about her role, the scene in Slovenia and ramen, just because. But first I talk to John to discuss the marvellous Monsoon and the fascinating way a beer moves from an idea to the finished product.
Hello and welcome to the Fourpure podcast. In April's episode, we have a lovely set of interviews for you. We hear from Dan who explains the expansion plans over the coming year, how it will streamline the business and the beer making and improve the working space for everyone. Graham has now been with us for two years and has seen the growth in the customer experience grow from two tours a week to 25. And we speak to Travis, a new starter working in IT support who recently arrived from New Zealand. But first, we're going to kick off with Nicole, another member of the two-year club. Nicole works in grocery and has some fascinating stuff to say about how that side of the business has changed in such a small amount of time. Listen in.

Welcome to the December podcast, the last of 2018 (obviously). In this episode, Grace regales us with an update of the, er, half-year update with some really exciting news, that may or may not include news of a new taproom, office space and a cellar. We also meet two of our new starters, Mike and Sinéad. With Sinéad we learn about how her new skills in the warehouse are being put to use at a charity. She also gives us an amazing-sounding recipe for Brussel sprouts. The foodie hack was off the back of Mike's current obsession for red wine jus (really). Don't worry, he shares the recipe. We hope you enjoy a mildly food-themed podcast, listen in.
