WE've been there
We built a brewery from scratch, and have operated and grown the business since 2014. Our experiences can help you save time, save money, and save your sanity.
Jailbreak Brewing Company has been our life since its inception. We selected the site, worked with the local government to change its zoning laws to accommodate a production brewery, and built a full packaging brewery with the largest tasting room in our state. We self distributed our beer for a bit, then selected wholesaler partners and rounded out a sales team. We grew territories, added capacity, won a GABF gold, and have marketed over 50 different beers through two states and the District of Columbia.
We can help you with any aspect of brewery startup, operations, sales and marketing, finance and accounting, or strategy.
