GET A PIECE OF COPPERWORKS DISTILLING COMPANY
Led by a team with decades of industry experience, Copperworks has achieved nine years of successful operation with record spirit sales and whiskey production in 2022, and fundraising campaigns that have raised over $2.75 million.
Copperworks has two new locations in the works to increase customer engagement opportunities and create substantial revenue streams. One location is in the final phase of construction; the other is in the design phase.
Copperworks has dramatically increased production capacity by partnering with a state-of-the-art facility. We are now able to grow production to five times our previous capacity as demand for our award-winning spirits rises.
Copperworks was founded by craft brewers with more than 30 years of experience in the alcohol industry. We built our distillery to answer the question: how would spirits taste if they were distilled from superior craft beer (without hops) instead of the typical methods and ingredients of conventional distilleries? The answer led Copperworks to become a pioneer in producing American Single Malt Whiskey, a fast-growing spirits category with substantial national and international market opportunity.

The Market
We believe Copperworks is well positioned to capitalize on the substantial and consistent growth of the craft spirits market and, more specifically, the American whiskey market. Combined, these two categories create an untapped market opportunity.

Copperworks was honored to be named the 2018 Distillery of the Year by the American Distilling Institute. Our whiskey and gin have won numerous awards in prestigious spirits competitions, including multiple Double Gold medals and consistent scores of 90+ points. (source)
As an early innovator in the American Single Malt Whiskey category, Copperworks is an established leader and well-respected brand in this rapidly growing spirits category. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (often called the “TTB”) is in the final stages of approving American Single Malt Whiskey as a legally recognized whiskey in America. Copperworks was a founding member of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission—the organization that drafted the proposed rules and organized the formal request to the TTB and one of the few remaining independent distilleries producing significant volumes of this type of whiskey.
Copperworks leadership team holds (and has previously held) prominent positions of leadership in the U.S. craft spirits industry. Copperworks President, Jason Parker, serves as an officer of the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission and as a board member for the Craft Maltsters Guild. Jason was also Board Chair for the Washington Distillers Guild. Copperworks Vice President, Jeff Kanof, serves as a board member for the American Craft Spirits Association and he has also served as a past officer of that organization.

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.

None of the information displayed on or downloadable from www.startengine.com (the 'Website') represents a recommendation, offer, or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security. It also does not constitute an offer to provide investment advice or service.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.
StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC. StartEngine Bulletin Board ("SE BB") is a bulletin board platform that advertises interest in shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings. SE BB enables shareholders to communicate interest in potential sales of shares in private companies and investors to discover, review, and potentially invest in private companies. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. SE BB is distinct and separate from StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”), which is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by SE Primary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. While a security may be displayed on the bulletin board, these securities will be subject to certain restrictions which may prevent the ability to buy and sell these securities in a timely manner, if at all. Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on the bulletin board, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
