#113 Full Circle Brew Co | A sense of place

They are a brewery based in Hoults Yard, Newcastle. Home to great beers & an award-winning taproom since 2018. But why Full Circle, we hear you ask? The inspiration comes through three generations of a family business. Brewery owner, Ben Cleary’s grandparents were in the pub and beer trade, while his parents got into the wine business, and now Ben has moved towards the beer industry – thus the family has come Full Circle. A brilliant business, headed up on the brewing side by Alex Redpath, has forged its name with full-flavoured regardless of the style or ABV, such as Looper, Repeater, Hoop and Rotator. In this episode, we speak to Ben Cleary about the brewery’s growth, investment in capital equipment its strength in the export market and the company’s plans for expansion.
