Well, like many things, the idea came out of pure frustration! I believe one of life's greatest and most simple pleasures is enjoying a nice cold refreshing beer with friends or family. It's a fundamental right of being a human. As a racing driver, I've had to be conscious of my nutrition; at times it has needed to be almost obsessive. Being aware of my carbohydrate intake has helped me over the last 7 years. I'm not here to preach to you about what is right and wrong; it simply worked for me, and it seems it works for many others involved in sports.

Through my work, I've been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in the U.S.A., where options for low-carb beer are far greater than here in the U.K. Due to the lack of availability of low-carb beer options here in the U.K. I have had to import cases from overseas, so I've done a lot of market research. Low-carb beer can be hit and miss on taste and expensive too.

It has been bugging me for years, so I finally took it upon myself to create something great, and that's why and how Westbrooks was created. To deliver people of the U.K. with refreshing, guilt-free, low-carb alternative beers. The fundamental point of doing this is to make a beer that tastes like a real beer brewed with specific techniques to naturally reduce its gluten and carbohydrate content.
