Colorado craft brewery Westbound & Down is inviting community members to participate in its growth through a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) investment opportunity. The brewery plans to use funds raised to expand production capacity, distribution, and brewpub operations across multiple states.
Currently operating in Colorado with a strong retail presence in 298 bars and restaurants and 329 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Westbound & Down has strategically positioned itself for significant scaling. The company's recent infrastructure and automation improvements enable it to potentially double production in just four months, a key advantage in the competitive craft brewing market.
The brewery's expansion plans are ambitious, aiming to increase brewing capacity from 5,000 barrels in 2024 to 19,000 barrels by 2028. Additionally, the company intends to expand distribution into six new states, including California, Texas, and New York, leveraging its existing infrastructure and award-winning reputation.
With 20+ industry awards from prestigious competitions like the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup, Westbound & Down brings credibility to its growth strategy. The leadership team, which includes members with Michelin-star restaurant experience, is focused on maintaining high-quality standards while scaling efficiently.
The Reg CF investment approach allows the brewery's community of beer enthusiasts to directly participate in its growth, creating a unique engagement model that distinguishes Westbound & Down from traditional corporate expansion strategies. By enabling supporters to invest, the company is not just raising capital but building a more connected and invested customer base.
Investors should note that startup investments carry significant risks, and the opportunity is designed for those who can afford potential total loss of investment. The company has filed the necessary documentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission to facilitate this community investment round.
