About this raise: California and craft beers. The Golden State and microbrews. The West Coast is a hotbed of breweries and brewhouses, so when one is able to make a standout splash onto that crowded cerveza scene, it’s worth taking notice (and a few sips out) of what they have to offer.

Mission Brewery is one of those breweries. Located in San Diego, they chugged their way onto the craft brewskie scene about ten years ago, and they’ve been successfully sloshing away full throttle ever since. With 59 international and national awards under their tankards in just a decade (and two of them earned just four months after starting up), $4.5M in 2016 net sales, and 2017 core beer sales up by 53% overall and 80% in southern California in just one year, there’s a reason Mission Brewery feels like it’s sip-worthy enough to become a household beer name.

President, Founder, and CEO Dan Selis has been brewing beer for more than 25 years, and he’s taken Mission Brewery from a passion project to a successful business. Key investors note Dan’s dedication and perseverance, and they believe he has what it takes to keep the libations pouring profitably. With this investment, they want to build up to six more taprooms (locations TBD), add some key executives to their team, and fund operations as needed during the growth period. Plus, depending on the size of your investment, you get some perks. $500 gets you an engraved Founders Plank, while bigger beer ballers can get anything from complimentary rounds to private tasting tours and parties.

Yes, California is a hotbed of microbrew activity, but Mission Brewery believes it’s on pace to compete with the biggest and best of them. With beers ranging from IPAs and Blondes to Hard Root Beers, Mission Brewery wants everyone to be able to sample their California soul infused craft beer. And with all that hoppy deliciousness, it might just be worth your beer money to help that beer dream become a perfectly poured reality….especially if we continue this conversation over one of those boozy root beers. Cheers!
