Brewed For Adventure: the Podcast
Welcome to ‘Brewed for Adventure,’ the Glen Lyon Coffee podcast series. Having set up a roastery at the top of a remote Scottish glen, we've become fascinated by others with the same spirit of adventure who have taken a leap of faith bringing an enterprising spirit to rural Scotland. It doesn’t matter if they are artists, explorers, entrepreneurs, or doctors. They have all chosen to make their own luck and in doing so redefine what it is to be a modern-day highlander.
On the first season, we'll meet some of these intrepid folk, exploring daring life stories and why the people behind them made such brave or often unexpected choices.
ABOUT THE PODCAST
Set up by Fiona and Jamie Grant in a remote bothy in 2011 Glen Lyon Coffee Roasters has gone from strength to strength through a combination of passion, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit.
This journey has inspired Jamie to travel around Scotland in search of similar stories of people who have taken adventurous leaps into the unknown to follow their dreams.

My first guests onto this podcast have a direct working connection with Glen Lyon Coffee.
