INVEST IN BEERMKR INC TODAY!
Overview
BEERMKR is one of the first all-in-one craft beer making machines. It is fully customizable, and makes a 12-pack of quality craft beer in a week's time. While the traditional homebrewing process can take over 12 hours of work, BEERMKR cuts this down to just 5 minutes and clean-up is easy; just use your dishwasher. BEERMKR is a tool which can be used by both first time brewers as well as professional brewmasters.
The Problem
Homebrewing is:
The Solution
BEERMKR makes homebrewing fun and easy. It captures the essence of brewing: exploring ingredients and recipes, while it takes care of all the grunt work. The BEERMKR system brews, ferments, carbonates, and serves beer. It takes just 5 minutes to set up a brew and the BEERMKR does the rest.
The patent-pending design of BEERMKR includes a multitude of sensors, solid state heat exchange technology, and innovations in hops that allow for a speedy brewing experience. This technological advancement in brewing has enabled complete beginners to experience the joy of brewing without compromising high quality craft beer results.
It has given an advanced toolset to experienced brewers like BEERMKR owner Christian Chandler who won a gold medal at the National Homebrewing Competition with a beer he brewed on his BEERMKR. He was able to easily iterate on his recipe until he perfected it. Check out the video we made about that!

It has also enabled commercial breweries to get a powerful pilot batch machine that saves employee time and resources and costs a small fraction of a traditional pilot brewing system.
The Market
(source, source, source, source, source & source)
The markets for Coffee and Beer in the USA are similar in size, $85b and $100b respectively. A major difference however is three quarters of all coffee drinkers prepare their coffee at home, while only 1% of craft beer lovers do the same (source). BEERMKR’s opportunity is to expand this massive gap by enabling high quality beer at home, easily.
our traction
In 2018 we launched a Kickstarter Campaign that raised nearly $400,000 dollars. We shipped our first BEERMKR in the fall of 2020, and went on to sell another 1,000+ BEERMKRs and 15,000+ MKRKITs in 2021 resulting in nearly $1M in sales in sales in BEERMKR's first year of operations.
Follow on sales have been equally strong. Each active BEERMKR saw an average of $130 in MKRKIT sales in 2021. Our machine level data shows this use trend continuing, indicating promising results in years to come.
Customer response has been tremendous. With overwhelmingly positive reviews and over 200,000 beers brewed in BEERMKR machines to date, customers are loving their BEERMKRs.

We even aired on Shark Tank on May 7th, 2021, getting the word out to millions of beer lovers across the USA!
HOW TO USE BEERMRK
WHAT WE MAKE
The BEERMKR platform is comprised of the BEERMKR + BEERTAP brewing hardware, the MKRKIT consumables, and the BEERMKR App, which acts as the main customer interface. BEERMKR + BEERTAP retail for $649 on a $392 landed cost to Los Angeles. MKRKITs range from $17-$24 with a delivered cost ranging from $12-$18. The app provides machine setup and management, brewing setup and monitoring, articles and learning, and a robust store where customers can purchase MKRKITs, loose ingredients for customization, and accessories.
BEERTAP gives you carbonated beer, right out of your fridge. When your beer is complete, move the bag of clean finished beer out of your BEERMKR and into your BEERTAP. An included CO2 cartridge carbonates the beer and allows you to serve up fresh pints or fill growlers to go directly from your refrigerator.
BEERMKR and BEERTAP have provided a solution for the issues of oxidation and exposure to bacteria and contaminants that plague traditional homebrewing. Our beer never leaves the original bag where it was brewed, eliminating these common homebrewing issues that regularly ruin otherwise great homebrew.
MKRKITs come with pre-portioned packs of real brewing ingredients. Our MKRKITs include everything you need to make a 12-pack of quality craft beer. They come in a variety of popular styles, including IPAs, Stouts, Pale Ales, Lagers, and more. Use one for an easy, delicious beer, or start to customize and add your own ingredients. We're regularly launching new Kits, and are partnering with breweries for new recipes and added exposure.
SteamHops, an ingredient we manufacture, go through a proprietary steam process that converts their acids into bitters while at the same time adjusting their oils to match what you would expect during a traditional boil process. That means we can match the isomerization of 10, 20, 30, 60 minute boils without putting the wort through a boil, dramatically simplifying the brewing process.
We pack and ship our MKRKITs in Boulder, CO, and ship them directly to a brewer's door. By eliminating shipping of heavy water, glass, and aluminum all over the country, we have provided quality beer at a competitive price.
BEERMKR has tremendous ease of use advantages over traditional homebrewing. BEERMKR also handedly wins against the major competitors in the brewing appliance space, namely Mr. Beer, LG Homebrew, and the BeerDroid + BeerFlo. All of these systems use extracts, where BEERMKR uses the same grains, hops, and yeast used by craft breweries. Limiting the brewing ingredients to extracts results in simple, inflexible recipes, as well as adding a syrupy taste which is rarely found in freshly brewed commercial craft beer.

why invest
BEERMKR is a game changing device that can enable a new generation of homebrewing. While the beer market is gigantic, brewing beer yourself is fraught with roadblocks and pain points. BEERMKR eliminates these problems with our automated brewing machine, allowing anyone to make commercial quality beer. We are the right team, with the right product, at the right time, we believe we can expand and explode the brew-at-home space.
BEERMKR is planning to be the next big thing in beer! BEERKMKR created an automated countertop craft beer brewing system to make home brewing accessible to everyone. The fully contained brewery means that there’s less mess and less steps to making your own beer. All you need is a wifi connection to get brewing. The team is a dynamic group of innovative engineers on a mission to create a global community of beer brewers. The team has also created the BREWJACKET and MKRKITs.

Our best selling holiday ale is back for another season, available now in the BEERMKR Store!
The Festivus Ale is a ruby red strong ale brewed with honey, cherries, sweet orange peel, and cinnamon. The heavy carmel malts provide a semi-sweet body and the Belgian yeast strain adds a clove like character to the beer. A truly festive beer!
When designing this beer, we pulled inspiration from our favorite holiday beers in craft beer today: Troegs Mad Elf, Great Lakes Christmas Ale, and Bells Old Fashioned Ale. These beers all feature amber to mahogony bodies, big ABVs, low to moderate fruit additions, and a touch of spice. Both the Mad Elf and the Old Fashioned feature cherries as a defining characteristic, and utilizing that flavor component really makes a big impact on the final beer.
We start off the beer with a solid sweet brown ale base featuring 2-Row and the dark caramel malts of Caramunich III and Special B. This provide a complex and slightly sweet body with heavy caramel notes and dark dried fruit. We add sweet orange peel for orange aromatics, cherry juice concentrate for a deep ruby color and prominent cherry flavor, wildflower honey to push ABV and produce a smooth floral aroma, and a dash of cinnamon for a festive undercurrent.
We ferment this cool with a Belgian T-58 yeast strain. At cool temperatures this yeast is fairly neutral with a hint of clove. This clove characteristic works phenomenally well with the holiday nature of this beer and compliments the cinnamon.
We have one hop addition, a Sterling Steam Hop at 60 minutes. This adds little to no hop flavor with just enough bitterness to balance out all those complex malts.
Happy Festivus from the rest of us!

Beer brewing is special. It is an art form, and it is a labor of love for most. BEERMKR is the only machine in the world that is so easy to use you can set up a brew in 5 minutes time. This allows anyone with a few minutes to spare to stay connected to brewing when life gets too busy. We created BEERMKR for exactly this reason.
As busy startup founders with young and demanding families, we created BEERMKR to fit into our lives as well. Having kids and a busy job was the major motivation for transitioning from our existing beer brewing hardware, the BrewJacket Immersion, to BEERMKR. As we saw our time shrinking, we saw a massive unmet need in the brewing market: a machine that has all the capability of a pilot system brewer, but removes the time and labor.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
