On this episode, Tom is having a chat with Thierry Florit, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Green Times Brewing, the first CBD beer producer in the UK. Thierry started the company together with his friend Carl Boon. The company was founded in 2018 and they have since managed to create 3 different types of CBD infused beer that are both gluten-free and vegan, including an alcohol-free option. Thierry talks about the origin of their idea, their plans for the future, the importance of being environmentally conscious, and the ins-and-outs of running a business that is a part of two challenging markets - CBD and Alcohol.
