We would love to distribute to our friends in California and across the country, but that's a long term expansion goal. Our new 4-vessel, 30-barrel expansion brewhouse is bigger and more efficient that most startup brewpubs, but we would still need a bigger brewhouse to distribute statewide and across the country. Regarding the legalities of shipping beer, the TABC (our state regulatory agency) has restrictions on that. We'll talk with them to find out what's allowed. Thanks!

The SEC prevents us from making forward operating projections, nor would that be prudent to make specific 5-year projections. We're a startup brewery in an increasingly competitive industry, and anything can happen. Having said that, the overall answer to your question is this is a long term investment opportunity, and we will re-invest the initial profits back into growth and expansion. Thus we're looking for patient investors who see our long term growth potential and aren't looking for a get-rick-quick investor deal. It could be many years before investors get a return on their investment. Beyond the financial return, we're also looking for investors who appreciate the community aspects of being a small town, people-powered, solar-powered brewery. This investment isn't for everyone, but we greatly appreciate the folks who are willing to join this long term journey with us and invest in the craft beer revolution. Cheers!

Once the company has reached sustainable profitability and re-invested in growth and expansion, our Board has the option to begin distributing dividends to the investors and Founders. While the Founders share the investors' interest in expediting dividends, our business plan prioritizes patience and re-investing profits in the company's long term growth. Our operating agreement requires investors to notify the company before selling shares, and the company has right of first of refusal to buy those shares. Please see our operating agreement on the Wefunder platform. Cheers!
