In this episode of ReleVant, Debbie McGrath sits down with Matt Giffen, founder of Bench Brewing Company, a certified B Corp brewery rooted in craft, community, and sustainability.

From a Niagara orchard to a thriving brewery built on integrity and respect for the land, Matt shares what it means to lead with values and  to grow responsibly, support people, and create something that reflects more than profit. He opens up about risk, resilience, and why staying true to purpose can be the boldest move in business.

This conversation explores how authenticity and accountability can shape a company and  community.
