# North by Northwest Brewing Company

One of Austin's oldest craft beers (est. 1999) soon in cans at grocery stores

## Elevator pitch
I've been brewing craft beer since 1987. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest brewery culture, I opened NxNW Restaurant & Brewery in Austin, TX in 1999. A 2nd location opened in 2014. In the brewpubs, total sales are $7.5+ million. We have a fun, family atmosphere where locals hang out, enjoy the great beer brewed on-site, and dig into tasty food with locally sourced ingredients. Now we're starting this new company to sell NxNW beers off-site so people across Texas can drink a delicious NxNW brew.

## FAQ
1. **Are the brewpubs included in the revenue that will be used to pay back investors?**
   - Richard. Thanks for asking. The brewpubs are separate entities so are not included. However, the brew pubs naturally act as a support and promotion point for the canning and outside sales operation. Thanks again, Davis
2. **Thanks. To clarify, this is an investment in the brewing company, which receives revenue from the brewpubs purchasing kegs and bottles? Or, is this a completely separate operation whose only source of revenue will be cans?**
   - Thanks for the question Richard. This is a separate entity which will be selling canned beer produced at the brewpub for off-site sales to consumers through grocery, liquor, and convenience stores, bars and other restaurants. Thank you again, Prosit! Davis
3. **Do you get a T-shirt with any investment at or above $500 (or just the $500)? Can you post a picture of the T-shirt?**
   - Hello Lee, yes, with an investment of $500+ you receive the t-shirt. We are currently designing the shirt and I will get a pic or graphic up as soon as it is available. Rest assured, it will be a cool t-shirt, at least I'm sure I'll think it is. ; ) Thanks again. Davis
4. **Why offer Revenue Share instead of Equity?**
   - Good morning Andrew, from discussions with potential investors and previous WeFunder fundraising groups we decided on Revenue Sharing. Thanks for the question.
5. **Is there a end date that the note will be paid back by or is this as long as it takes. If I did my math correctly at the max raise you will need to sell 775K cases or 56,250 barrels of beer. With a 5000 barrel capacity it will take over 11 years to pay off the investors.**
   - I appreciate the question, Paul. You may have interpreted the profit margin shown on the WeFunder pages to be by cases rather than 6 packs. The investment runs until you have reached the return stated in the offering.

## Q&A
- Q: Davis, in an earlier Q&A it was mentioned the investment round would end by May with the hopes to reach $400k by then. With the investment round not reaching the $400k goal, are we keeping the round open until we hit the $400k goal? Thanks.
  - A: Thang Luu, thanks for the question. We will not be keeping the round open. We are comfortable with the amount raised and it also benefits you as an investor to have fewer investors to split the income between. Thanks Davis
- Q: Hopefully this isn't a completely dead-in-the-water venture. I'm having a hard time digesting Davis' most recent (September) update along with some really compelling questions from other investors, which is leaving me very confused about next steps. Are we expecting more info? Should we be pressuring for more answers? Nearly $500,000 was raised...where is it?
- Q: Going to post the e-mail I received a few days, in case anyone did not get it. Additionally, I feel like the complete lack of accounting on the equipment purchased is worth finding out about. I have no idea how to go about requesting that information. I have doubts that paying an attorney to procure them would be worth anything. If anyone has an idea about how to pursue this, please reach me by e-mail: douglas.laustsen@gmail.com: Dear TBSCanning Investors Updates have been slow in coming as our situation has continued to be complicated. I had been hoping several things would be resolved but circumstances have dragged things on. As you know, we shuttered the company back in April and filed our dissolution in early January of 2020. We had hoped to sell off assets to return some portion to investors. Due to specific circumstances, I cannot discuss details but can say just what I have told you and to add that any kind of return at this point is unlikely. I know this will disappoint all of you, including myself who invested money, time and effort to make this venture succeed. After discussions with my accountant, the loans can be declared a bad debt for tax purposes since the company is no longer in business. Again, I want to express my sincere disappointment in the result and gratitude for your belief in our project. With the deepest regret, Davis Tucker
- Q: Hey Davis, I know this might not be the best time...but any updates? Seeing as how we're 1 quarter away from 2 years of being funded.
- Q: Recent news item: "American Bank of Commerce in Lubbock obtained a judgment for $1,588,438.81 and attorneys fees of $17,972.57 from North by Northwest Parkside and restarauter Davis Sean Tucker[...]" https://atxrealestatenews.com/2019/11/21/and-heres-the-latest-edition-of-atx-real-estate-news-nov-18-2019/
- Q: This business had a Board of Directors. As Davis Tucker is ducking the questions here it may be possible to contact the Board members who would also be legally responsible to ensure that the terms of our contracts are followed, including investors receiving proceeds from the sale of assets.
- Q: How do I get 2018 K1
- Q: Hi, I'm not as concerned about getting my t-shirt as I am about how the bad PR potentially created by almost 400 people could start to affect your ratings and reviews online, which in turn would weaken my investment. It's not a good look. Please respond to these questions.
- Q: HEY, WERE IS THE PERKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
- Q: When where can we go to pick up our t-shirts?
- Q: Love NXNW brew pub(was there ladt night). However, currently there are aisles crowded with craft beer(from everywhere) in every grocery store, liquor store and other outlets. How will NXNW stand out and distinguish itself from the crowd(besides the fact that many Austinites patronize the NXNW brew pubs for the great beer, food, service and atmosphere). Can cans on shelves replicate the vibe at NXNW restaurants?
- Q: Hi, are there any updates on financials however brief, or investor perks:)
- Q: would like to know how is north by northwest doing and will you be opening any more rounds of investing or will you be trying to go for and ipo
- Q: Has the information been sent out about the perks?
- Q: Hi David, Following up on Kenneth's question below. When do the perks roll out to investors? Your previous reply dated June 15th said Saturday which I presume is June 16th. Just curious as I haven't received any email. Thanks. Neil
