That actually sounds quite philanthropic, doesn’t it?
But the truth is, this whole thing happened entirely by accident.
It was 2015. And our founder, Oli (the guy in the middle), had fallen for craft beer. So much so that he started traipsing around the country to gather up renowned craft beers he’d heard about.
He was a customer and a beer lover, so he wasn’t thinking about price or profit margins or anything like that.
As he still delights in saying, “If it sounded interesting, I went out and got it.”
Naturally, this led to a fairly epic beer stash, and soon enough people started asking Oli to source beers for them.
It was a turning point: if Oli could get a community of beer lovers together, he could order the best craft beers in the world and share the spoils with all!
These days, Craft Metropolis sources beer fans some seriously epic beers. As well as the likes of Polly’s, Verdant, DEYA and Vault City, we order our customers craft beers from New York, Poland, Sweden, Greece and Germany – it’s insane really.
We also have two semi-successful taprooms in London. It is mad when you consider our set up is so small – we’re pretty much a three person company!
But that’s where we are today. Custodians of a unique craft beer cavern that exists to hook beer lovers up with first-rate craft beer at fair prices.
I mean, check these out. If you can’t resist, feel free to order yourself a few interesting beers.
(You get craft coins on stuff you order – which is cash back that builds up your own beery piggy bank.)
Have fun exploring. And feel free to ask any questions you like.
Cheers!
Oli, Olly & Charlie
