1

112% revenue growth from 2016 - 2017. 2018 growth should hit 40% over 2017.

Breakeven projected by mid- 2019; projected profitability by end of year.

On track to produce 1,500 barrels in 2019. 175 active accounts in the Bay Area.

4

One of two proposed sites of new Oakland A's stadium (attracting 25k-40k people a game) is less than 1 mile from the tasting room.

5

Brewed 30 distinct beers, with 4 core beers.

6

Consistently well-reviewed across Yelp, Google and Untappd.

Future locations can have a strong food element with the help of Co-founder and chef, Matt Hunter.

8

We’ve done the heavy lifting of starting the business, establishing a market, honing production and an accepted product line, and opening a tasting room. We are a functioning business, not a high-risk start-up with no history.
