As Jerry shares "The response from the team has been unbelievable. This is light years ahead of where we were and it's game-changing for us as a business."
He then goes on to focus on the business impact with "We launched in April, so we've only been going for 6 months. For Q2 over Q1, we saw a growth of over 250% in terms of distribution. These are numbers that BrewDog has never seen in installs, and it shows what an improvement Aforza has already made to our business. We're rolling very quickly towards the end of Q3 and we're seeing another 40% growth versus Q2. So, it's not like hitting and quitting. It is this sustained performance that is Important to us.”
