The problem
Demand for our beer has outgrown our brewhouse. We turn away distributor orders every summer, and our 8-year-old canning line can’t keep up, so we pay a mobile canner to fill the gap.
Our solution
A new automated canning line and a bigger taproom will let us roughly double output and cut packaging costs by about a third.
Traction
We sell in 140 bars, restaurants and grocery stores across Oregon and Washington. Our taproom had 61,000 visits last year, and our membership club has 1,900 paying members. Revenue grew 24% last year.
Business model
We make money three ways: wholesale to distributors and stores (58% of revenue), our taproom (34%) and membership club dues (8%).
Market
Local breweries with a loyal taproom following keep growing even while craft beer overall is flat. We focus on Central Oregon and the Portland and Seattle areas.
Competition
Larger regional breweries compete with us for shelf space. We win on freshness, seasonal releases and our taproom community.
Vision
Become the Northwest’s favorite neighborhood brewery, with three taprooms and distribution across the Pacific Northwest by 2030.

Risks
Revenue share payments depend on our revenue. If sales fall, payments fall, and they could stop entirely. Beer sales are seasonal, so winter payments will be smaller. Two distributors account for most of our wholesale revenue. The new canning line could arrive late or cost more than planned. We owe $410,000 on equipment loans, which would be repaid before investors if the company failed.
