OVERVIEW
Cave Direct began as a hobby in 1979 when Bryan Gilhespy decided to import craft beer from Belgium and brewers all over the world. Many of those beers were very hard to find in the UK. Soon, the hobby grew into a full-fledged business that required Gihespy’s wife and two children, Colin, and Louise, to help it run. For years, Cave Direct posted annual growth rates of 20 percent or more.
