Bristol Beer Factory: Brewing With Purpose

By Jake Hitchcock - 17 May 2025 - Members

We were delighted to welcome Clem from Bristol Beer Factory (BBF), who gave an engaging talk that offered a behind-the-scenes look at one of Bristol’s most iconic and community-driven brands.

 

Founded with a clear vision to make great beer and make a difference, BBF has long stood out for its blend of quality, ambition, and authenticity. Clem’s presentation reaffirmed just how deeply those values run through the business – even as it continues to scale.

 

He shared valuable insight into BBF’s growth journey, outlining how the team is expanding their operations and brand reach while staying rooted in what matters most: exceptional beer, sustainable practices, and meaningful local connections. From investing in their brewing capabilities to deepening their involvement in the community, BBF is proving that it’s possible to grow responsibly without compromising on character.

 

What struck a chord with many in the room was BBF’s commitment to its values. Clem spoke openly about the importance of maintaining a strong internal culture, staying close to the Bristol community, and making decisions that reflect their long-term purpose – not just short-term gains.

 

It’s always inspiring to hear from businesses that are “doing it right”, and Bristol Beer Factory is a shining example of that ethos in action.

 

A big thank you to Clem for sharing BBF’s journey with us – we’re excited to watch what’s next as this much-loved Bristol brand continues to grow, evolve, and lead with heart.
