FAQ:
- Q: I couldn't find it in here, What was your 2015 Gross Revenue? Also could you address some of your competitive advantages ?
  A: Hello John, 2015 Revenue for our Austin facility was right at $2M. Competitive advantages for us lie in our product quality, maintained by a state of the art full time on-site laboratory for beer analysis. We have a strong, purpose driven mission and our commitment to not only community involvement but also being a socially conscious and culturally relevant brand have helped us succeed in Austin. We currently distribute beer to San Marcos and the surrounding areas so we already have strong br...
- Q: Two questions: Can you define what your gross revenue is? Both wholesale and on-site? Additionally, you mention margins grew from 33% to 78% above but then state margins are 4-8% wholesale and 60-65% on-site. Curious if you can explain this.
  A: In 2015 our gross revenue at our Austin brewery was $2M. 25% of our revenue was generated in our tasting room and the other 75% through wholesale distribution. Wholesale margins are 4-8% and with some recent city permitting allowing us to sell pints of beer on-site instead of charging an admission and giving away free samples our margin for on-site sales has grown to 78%
- Q: Where is the location of your new brew house (cross streets)? I know that area can change very quickly.
  A: We are still negotiating lease terms but the location will most likely be on S Edward Gary St
- Q: Can you share anything more about the area (maybe the cross streets) that you're looking for the new brewery? I know that area can be hit/miss so I want to be sure it's in a great location.
  A: We are still negotiating lease terms but are focusing around the S Edward Gary St. area
- Q: How soon would you expect someone to receive their investment back?
  A: We are projecting that it should be around 5-6 years to receive the 2x return
