Episode notes

It was 2013 and Russell Bisset had £5000 in the bank and one big dream: to create world-class beer experiences inspired by the spirit of the north. Seven years later and Russell’s company, Northern Monk, is going from strength to strength. Northern Monk is ranked as one of the top 100 breweries in the world, they have sales in 23 countries and are stocked in major UK supermarkets. But in addition to their incredible sales, the Northern Monk brand is doing so much more… 

Claudia Winkleman talks to Founder and CEO, Russell Bisset of Northern Monk about their incredibly creative beer collaborations, how they give back generously to the community and why on earth they decided to brew a beer at the top of Ben Nevis.
