A Message From
Our Founder
I also love sustainable produce and the creative and hands-on process of developing a craft beer with a single hero ingredient and believe that small businesses can grow and do well by doing good.
What started with an idea to create a ‘proper’ honey beer lead to me starting Hiver in 2013 – just me, a few bottles of beer, a business card and a leap of faith. Over the past few years along with the highs and lows of trying to grow a small business and team, I realised that people loved not just the easy-drinking nature of Hiver but the things it stood for and the sustainable foundations I’d built into the business. And so the idea for Made of England came about, our marketplace for craft produce that we’ve developed according to our UK sourcing and sustainability policies and passion for fresh and natural British beers. I hope that you find something you love as much as I do.

I’ve always been a fan of well-made beers and the fact that you can get some of the best beers in the world for less than the price of a bottle of wine.

Beers of substance

Veganuary is tough!
Eating sustainably to me means buying locally both in terms of producer and produce. So even when I’m cooking up a ramen, I’ll use UK grown broccoli or pak choy and only buy in an avocado or an imported fresh ingredient as a treat once or twice a month
What does it mean to be a sustainable brand?
There have been lots of comments over the last few years about Hiver’s authenticity and I think this stems from the fact that our sustainability credentials are tied into our core proposition.
Quality and ethos go hand in hand
I came to understand that bees pollinate over 30% of the food that we eat; that this ecosystem is critical to the wider health of the planet; the challenges faced by UK beekeepers in maintaining healthy hives and a healthy business
