Highlighting the Best of Tennessee Through Viking Beer
Our city of Columbia, Tennessee, is perfect for a brewery. Our town of 35,000 supports our mission by packing our 400 square foot brewpub every night, plus, we have produce from dozens of local farmers at our disposal. This allows us to grit our grains to order from local farmers, then roll and crush them, which is the way Vikings brewed for 200 years. If this didn't differentiate us from our competition, the fact that we sit on the Duck River, the third most biologically diverse river in the world, does. So we're not just a farm-to-barrel brewery -- we're also a destination for ecotourism.
We Feature 35 Guest Taps + Food Trucks
We love beer. Especially unique beer that tastes how the Vikings of lore would've made it. So we have 35 rotating guest taps in our brewery with beer from all over the world, making us a destination for beer lovers anywhere. We also have 28 (!) food trucks on a rotating basis 7 days a week that serve any kind of food imaginable. In our town, these food trucks are serving food that's impossible to get anywhere else.
These two factors, combined with our eco-tourism and local ingredients, make the Asgard Brewery one of the more special places in the South, if not the country, to enjoy a cold beer.
At $60K in Monthly Taproom Sales, it's Time to Expand
We're currently in the planning stage for two brand new breweries in Columbia. The first, a 10-barrel system with on-site equipment, is next door to our current location and will allow us to brew our own beers. The second will be across the street and will hold 5X as many customers and have 3X as many taps as our current space. From there, we have plans to expand to Pulaski, a city 30 miles south, allowing us to distribute Asgard beer in Giles County without going through a distributor. Our future plans don't involve selling out to a larger beer conglomerate, but they do involve the strategy of bypassing distributors by opening brewpubs across Tennesee.
Our Progress So Far
With a successful raise of $500k on Wefunder, we'll spend the majority of the investments on completing the build-out for our new taproom, then be able to hire full-time staff in marketing and production brewing, buy inventory and raw materials, and increase our working capital. If we hit our maximum raise of $1M, we'll also be able to buy all of the interior brewing equipment and significantly more inventory.
