Reasons to Invest
1. Island Brands is on track to outpace its competition in the domestic premium beer category. Island Active is the fastest-growing domestic beer brand in the Southeast and with growing distribution, new products will be hitting the market in 2023.
2. Our growth trajectory, product innovations, manufacturing capacity, and market strategy enable us to rapidly scale into domestic and international markets.
3. The domestic beer market is valued at over $116 billion. Beer consumption is up double-digit percentages in the Southeast, where Island Brands is currently distributed. There’s a big piece of the pie left for us to crush!
4. We have an established network of 46 best-in-class wholesale partners serving 120,000+ points of sale across our distribution footprint. We’re a startup with a built-in infrastructure already in place.

THE OPPORTUNITY
While consumers seem to have many choices when it comes to beer, they don’t have a lot of options other than macro beers from giant corporations and craft beers from independent brewers. That’s where we fit in.
The Solution
Island Brands is a superpremium beverage alcohol brand that marries the high profit margins of craft products with the market velocity of domestic macrobrews and spirits.
Island Brands’ core lineup of flagship beer and growing family of product innovations combine to form a portfolio that is second to none in the domestic bev/alc space.
FUELED FOR GROWTH
American-brewed, American-owned: We make the fastest-growing superpremium domestic beers in the Southeast U.S.
*Timeframe is Q1 2019 thru Q4 2021
American-brewed, American-owned: We make some of the fastest-growing superpremium domestic beers in the Southeast U.S.
Island Brands is currently available on board all Carnival Cruise ships, earning 11+ million brand impressions annually, as well as in the Bahamas and China through Costco International. A key growth strategy in 2022 is adding small, independent retailers like convenience stores and gas stations to complement Island Brands’ presence in large grocers and liquor shops.

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.
