Pitch

Best Quality Makes the Best Brand

Craft beer is in high demand and it's a competitive market. An exceptional brand is the differentiator with the greatest effect. Utah's rapidly-growing population is thirsty for the great quality beer they know from Utah and other states.

Growth and Margins

We have viable products that can withstand competition. Next steps are to expand capacity and add more revenue streams. With our brand as the foundation, we can move into the future with confidence and sustainable growth.

We have encountered many customers who come to the brewery expecting the opportunity to sample and/or drink the beer. Opening a taproom with food options allows customers to drink the beer straight from the source, and gives us the means to get instant feedback on our current and experimental products.

A tap room gives us greater ability to interact and understand our customers in a social environment. Profitability will increase* as we are able to manufacture, wholesale, and retail from 1 location. It also introduces our customers to new products and adds a feedback loop from the customer. Adding a food component will keep customers engaged longer.

*Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.

High Beer Ratings

Untappd is a social media app where customers can share and rate beers; this gives breweries empirical data on how their beers compare.

We have a high overall rating on this platform in the state of Utah.

Competitive Map

There are many fantastic breweries in the area, but we stand out in the eyes of customers.

This gives us a strong foundation to build on and grow.

Established Demand and Output

Sales through distributors and brewery bottle shops

After opening in 2015, production capacity was maxed out at our current location by 2019. During Covid (2020 - 2021), some bar/restaurant volume was lost, but demand has increased again and we need to move from our current location which is much too small.

2014 - 20 gallon system

2016 - 90 gallon system

2018 - 250 gallon system

We're committed to our craft!

  • Our team has an unmatched drive for the "WOW" factor
  • We are obsessed with producing high quality beer and improving our QA processes.
  • We have invested in QA/QC equipment unmatched for a brewery our size
  • We outsource some lab work to White Labs to ensure highest quality possible.
  • Constantly strategizing and innovating our procurement and recipes to keep things interesting, but also as cost-effective as possible.
  • You know from the first taste how much love and passion went into it!

Future Growth

Our new location will have improved capabilities and capacity. The taproom will help meet customer desire to drink at the brewery. This will also help expand into new geographical markets. Our current distributor has the ability to take us into 12+ states or expanded reach on packaged products and draft accounts. We'll also be able to fill more current demand and increase market share in the current market. Because of our small production space, we are unable to keep up current demand in our local market.

*Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.

  • Capital for buildout of a larger manufacturing plant for our beer

  • Larger retail store for more to-go beer offerings and merchandise
