Hello, two questions. First, what type of tax forms will be generated for this investment (1099, K1, other)? Second, will there be quarterly reports?

Hey James. The tax form will be a K-1 issued annually for investor tax filing. Annual reports will be made public to investors via a web link. Thanks for the interest and let me know if you have any more questions! Kraig

Do you know if the minimum tax obligation distribution incurred by investing would encompass investors in higher taxed states such as New Jersey? Tax rate could be as high as 10.75% compared to Colorado's 4.63%. Love your work ethic and business and hoping to be an investor bu...

Hi David, thanks for your question. Yes, that would be the goal of the minimum tax obligation distribution. We would want to make sure that no investor, regardless of their state of residence, would owe out of pocket for tax obligations incurred by their investment in The Block. Let us know if you have any other questions! We will keep our fingers crossed to see your name come through! Kraig

Your brand and expansion ideas seem awesome. If I invest what exit strategy should I expect on which timeline?

Hey! Thank you for reaching out. We are seeing a few exit strategies in the industry right now. There are still some full purchases of smaller brands by big portfolios. However, we are also seeing more and more minority stake agreements where a capital influx happens but the brand is still maintained and operated by the founders. Our utmost goal is growth and progression of the brand. The achievement of that growth will lead to multiple exit strategies. That being said, distilling is a long t...

What are the chances that you'll be able to ship to Massachusetts in the years to come?

Hey Peter, shipping across state lines is a big puzzle. Each state creates its' own regulations on shipping and receiving that further get specified by residence vs commercial. However, these laws are constantly being revised as technology advances and peoples comfortability with the idea relaxes. So fingers crossed! Kraig

Hello Kraig, on page 24 of your pitch book you show a 100k investment on the chart but in the explanation box above it says the potential distribution for a 50k investment is shown in the chart. Can you please clarify. Also, will a 25k investment have the opportunity to be inc...

Hi Bob! Thank you for pointing out the error in the table header. The numbers represented in the table are for $50k. I will get the header corrected right away.

When we initially chose to invest in The Block Distilling Co. it was based on a feeling that this talented team was poised to take advantage of a high demand for craft spirits and leverage their prime real estate location in the rapidly growing market of Denver, CO. Fast forward to today and our decision to re-invest in The Block feels like a no-brainer. The product is excellent and has accolades to back it up. The branding is powerful, has meaning (The Block Building) and is uniquely aesthetically pleasing. The location (tasting room) is more desirable than ever and has garnered a loyal customer base in the rapidly growing RiNo district of Denver.The team running the show at The Block Distilling Co., compromised of Kraig, Kameron and Michelle is a perfect blend of creativity, intelligence, business savvy, passion and the entrepreneur spirit. This team has built an impressive foundation for continued growth, posting 40% growth in years 1-2 and 18% in year 3 during a pandemic. Investing in The Block will allow the distillery to 6x production, leverage their solid foundation and take advantage of a thirsty market for craft spirits that stand out above the rest. The Block has the product, the vision and the brand, they are ready to scale and meet the demand.
