There aren’t many businesses like BrewDog. As the world’s only carbon negative brewery with a reputation for breaking records, BrewDog’s success is built on 3 foundational pillars: beer, people and planet.

In the first episode of our Innovation Conversations series, the inspirational Tom Reding, BrewDog’s Group Digital Director joins Alex James, Ascent’s Chief Technology Officer to share their ‘whole-business’ approach to digital innovation, from the board to bar crews.

At the heart of BrewDog’s success is a 200,000+ strong shareholder community that not only loves beer, but also cares deeply about sustainability. As a result, the business is constantly exploring novel ways to meet their demands through the adoption of disruptive technology, an agile approach to modernisation and the application of data to drive sustainable change.

This discussion examines BrewDog’s ambitious digital journey and the challenges of connecting communities, balancing humans and data to elevate the hospitality experience and integrating operations and processes to simplify interactions with customers.
