Adrian is not just a Co-Founder; he's a driving force behind the innovative spirit of REAL Drinks. With a PhD in Nutrition and a wealth of experience in nutrition innovation, Adrian brings an exceptional scientific perspective.
Adrian first crossed paths with co-founder David while presenting at a conference. Their shared curiosity and passion for experimentation quickly bonded them, and they began experimenting with the flavour profiles of hundreds of the finest loose-leaf teas from around the world, driven by the endless potential of fermentation. That experimentation lead them to creating a naturally non-alcoholic liquid with a flavour profile akin to wine, and REAL drinks was born.
But there's more to Adrian than just science. In his spare time, he is a dad to two small children and loves everything Garage and Drum & Bass with his alter ego DJ Enzyme. He is always keeping the REAL team up to date with what's happening in the music world with events and articles.
"Music and fermentation share a special place in my heart. Both are living, breathing processes, raw, unpredictable, and endlessly creative. There's magic in the way things come together over time, evolving and transforming. That's the beauty of it all."
