Overview
The Island Brands’ story began on a rum soaked trip to Cuba, when founders Scott Hansen and Brandon Perry discovered that the country had low quality and very limited options when it came to beer. They set out on a mission to make better beer more accessible to Cuba. Brandon and Scott, both serial entrepreneurs, began working to perfect a recipe for an all-clean, easy-drinking beer and, after two years of recipe testing, Island Coastal Lager was born. The duo quickly realized they had created something very special, combined with their branding and digital technology, that could compete with the biggest beer brands in the market. While there are still political obstacles that we face with getting the beer to Cuba, Island Brands has already flourished throughout the Southeastern US.
Our goal to bring better beer to Cuba hasn’t changed, but now we have an even bigger mission: to bring our all clean, easy drinking beer brand family to the world.
The Problem
The choices are confusing and it’s become harder for consumers to find a brand they can call their own.
The Solution
Our solution was to create a brand family and new sub vertical of all-clean, super-premium beer products. We brew our beers using only water, malted barley, yeast and hops. Our portfolio is anchored by two core flagship products in the market: Island Coastal Lager and Island Active.
We are steadfast in our vision to bring better beer to the beer drinkers of the world that want a "beer that tastes like beer" with an authentic lifestyle brand family that is not only approachable but also a lot of fun.
perks
Our Traction
Along with rapidly expanding Domestic distribution, we are exporting Island beer to international markets, including the Bahamas and to China with Costco International.
Island Coastal Lager is also served fleetwide on Carnival Cruise lines, providing exposure to over 14 million passengers annually.

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.
