Siren Craft Brew

After selling his IT business, Darron Anley headed to the 2012 Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego to gather inspiration and to start assembling a team for a very different kind of British brewery. Whilst he was in the States, Darron met the charismatic brewer, Ryan Witter-Mathew. The pair joined forces to launch Siren on an innocuous looking industrial estate in Finchampstead (it’s near Reading) a year later.

That following year they were announced as England's Best New Brewery and the second best new brewery in the world by ratebeer.com. Some achievement.
