Futurist Trond Arne Undheim interviews Ronan McGovern, MIT alum with a PhD in mechanical engineering, serial entrepreneur and founder of Point5 Brewing, who talks about his newly launched non-alcoholic beer and muses about emerging trends in the beverage industry.
The takeaway is that serial entrepreneurship takes trust, track record and networks. Also, non-alcoholic beer is becoming a market force to reckon with, both in Europe and now in the US, soon reaching a percentage of the market.

Founder, Point 5 Brewing
Ronan was born in Ireland and studied mechanical engineering at University College Dublin before heading to MIT to continue his studies in Mechanical Engineering. Ronan’s Master’s and Ph.D. both focused on desalination. It’s here where he came up with the idea for separating water from beer to make the beer less expensive to transport.
