## Story
Dear Investor,My dad and grandfather were sensory scientists. I inherited that curiosity – and took it to weird, wild new places, which led me to starting Ology eight years ago. I couldn’t stop experimenting with flavor. Every product we make goes through our “Excellence” test. If it’s not extraordinary, it doesn’t go out.We double dry-hop hazy IPAs, boil our stouts for 20 hours, and age them in our own bourbon barrels for up to three years. We ferment lagers for a full two months — no shortcuts. Our rums and single malts are distilled from scratch.That approach has built a craft brand with a dedicated community and real traction:4 taprooms across Florida75+ Publix stores today — growing to 100+ this yearStocked in Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and thousands of bars and restaurants in FloridaAwards from Best Florida Beer and participation in top beer festivals including Mikkeller and the Great American Beer FestivalWe’ve grown 51% annually over the past seven years on average. Now we’re scaling our footprint across the Southeast. With your investment, we’ll go further, faster.We’re offering some amazing perks to thank our investors – including a personalized bourbon/whiskey/rum, where you work with our distiller to hone the taste, and you work with our design team to create a custom label!Nick WalkerCo-Founder & Head BrewerCheck out our pitch deck!We’re one of the fastest-growing indie breweries in Florida — with over 50% annual revenue growth, multiple locations, grocery expansion, and award-winning spirits.Now, we're scaling that formula across the Southeast.Our community helped turn our obsession into a movement — funding five rounds of growth, cheering on every expansion, and showing up in our taprooms and on store shelves.We’ve grown one step at a time, but always with a long-term vision: to build a best-in-class craft beverage company rooted in experimentation, hospitality, and quality.Every step forward has been powered by a loyal community of fans and believers — we’ve raised $1.9M raised from 50+ investors to date. At Ology, innovation starts in the taproom.Every drink we launch — from hazy IPAs to ready-to-drink spirits — is tested, refined, and perfected in our four Florida taprooms. These local hubs give us direct access to customers, immediate feedback, and strong margins.Once a product hits, we scale it through distribution.Our network includes major chains like Publix, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods, plus independent bars across Florida. Now we’re expanding across the Southeast with new partnerships in the “Budweiser House” network – a group of independent Budweiser distributors with high volume, wide reach, and real love for Ology.This isn’t a guess — it’s a system.And it’s already working.Ology is now partnered with major beverage distributors in the “Bud House” network: a system of independently owned Budweiser distributors with high-capacity national reach and deep local penetration.These partnerships give us instant access to thousands of grocery stores, bars, and restaurants across the Southeast — the fastest-growing region for craft beer and spirits in the U.S.But Bud House distributors don’t do everything. To fully activate the opportunity, we need our own boots-on-the-ground sales team to drive velocity, build relationships, and maximize each account.That’s why this raise matters: We’ve secured the pipeline. Now we need to fuel the flow.Ology already has the infrastructure, the distributor partnerships, and the product line. What we need now is investor fuel to pour into the fire.Craft beer is a $30B U.S. market — and the Southeast is 20% of it.Craft spirits is a $20B market — and we’re perfectly positioned to take a bigger share, with our brewing infrastructure already in place.And we’re moving fast. In just the last two years:Distribution revenue doubledRetail footprint expanded to 75+ Publix stores, with 100+ expected soonSpirits development kicked into high gear with award-winning releasesWe’re projected to more than double our revenue in the next four years. Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.Demand for Ology is outpacing what our current team and facilities can support. To grow into the Southeast’s next great craft beverage company, we need to scale production and boots-on-the-ground activation.This raise will help us:Build cost-saving production infrastructure, which will significantly reduce production costs and enhance our margins as we scaleExpand our aged spirits programIncrease our grocery presenceScale our Southeast sales teamCheck out our pitch deck!Ology has all the ingredients of a sound investment. We know who we are. We know where we’re going. We want you right there with us. With your investment, we’ll:Build a bigger sales team to unlock the full Bud House network across the SoutheastExpand production to meet rising demand at 100+ Publix storesLaunch new spirits and grow our aging programFrom one taproom to four. From local favorite to regional powerhouse. Let’s evolve together.We believe in mad science, serious flavor, and building a business the right way: with heart, integrity, and obsessive craft.If you do too, now’s your chance to own a piece of Ology.
