GET A PIECE OF SAUCY BREW WORKS
Saucy opened in Columbus, OH and Orange Village, OH in 2020. In March 2021, we opened another brewpub in Detroit, MI, along with having plans to continue expansion well into 2023 and beyond.
Brewery has won multiple awards for its beer (2019, 2020 and 2021) and pizza (2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021)
Veterans of crowdfunding! Join over 2,700 investors who have successfully invested in Saucy’s previous Regulation Crowdfunding offering!
Saucy Brew Works was born and brewed in Ohio. We are a Cleveland-based production brewery and brewpub with roots in our hometown that have spread into Central Ohio and Michigan. We are midway through a massive expansion phase that originally included three brewpubs which opened in 2020-21, and now will include an expansive production facility that will double our brewing capabilities and additional brewpubs that cross beyond our state lines.
Our brewery prides itself on creating an environment where people can feel at home. Our mission? To always do the right thing, never sacrifice quality, and always provide for those around us through innovation, education, sustainability and community enhancement.
We use the “pub and spoke” approach; a production facility that supplies smaller, neighborhood-oriented pubs. This is important to us for a number of reasons, and we move forward following a three-step strategy.
First. We want to win in new markets, we believe that planting roots in each neighborhood leads to better traction and awareness than simply distributing beer. In doing so, we aim to amplify the communities we serve and provide unique experiences at each brewpub. We serve a variety of offerings for our beer enthusiasts, novices, and non-beer drinkers alike. As we continue to develop deep roots through our establishments and community partnerships, we will right-size our distribution to drive home the growth within that respective market, later expanding into additional cities and states.
Second. We need to have the ability to deploy our capital efficiently. Data from the Craft Brewer's Association shows that breweries tend to be inefficient when using capital sources to drive incremental changes to brewery infrastructure, which drives up fixed overhead. The real goal of capital deployment needs to be driving top-line growth. We have shown expertise with that, having the majority of proceeds from our previous StartEngine raise go towards geographical expansion.
Third. We invest in the People and Culture. One of the tenants of this raise is to give employees the opportunities and training to continue to advance their careers and take true ownership of our brand. We know that the more we invest in our team, the more they will invest back into their company and help build the communities we call home.
DRIVING SALES
We are the fastest growing brand over the last 52 weeks in Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) sales, which is the "industry" term for grocery store sales, in our home market of Cleveland, leaping us into the Top 5 of highest selling craft breweries that are headquartered in Cleveland. In the entire state of Ohio, we became the fourth-fastest-growing brand over the last year and, sending us into the Top 35 breweries in sales for the entire state of Ohio. We compete with the more regional players in the space today and are heading our way into national territory.
LAUNCHING NEW PRODUCTS + SERVICES
In July 2020, we opened our first Coffeehouse in Orange, Ohio. Saucy Coffee has grown to three locations including Columbus, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan. We plan to continue the expansion of our full-service Coffeehouse as we continue into new regions and introduce our signature line of packaged Whole Bean Coffee available at all Saucy locations and local grocery stores.
Saucy Coffee launched, which includes:
BEER AWARDS
BREWPUB AWARDS
NATIONAL SPORTS PARTNERSHIPS
COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND DEVELOPMENT
We live by a simple mantra, give until it hurts. Saucy has focused philanthropic efforts and neighborhood initiatives including annual give-back programs, friends and family fundraising, national campaigns, and environmental safety measures.

GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION AND INCREASED PRODUCTION
Why are we back? Simple. We want to create more value for our current and potential investors by continuing our expansion into new markets and finalizing the build of our largest production facility to date in Independence, Ohio. Saucy is fully committed to the list of projects below and expects to make significant progress on each of these before the end of 2021.

TOGETHER WE BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR TOMORROW, BY DOING MORE OF WHAT WE LOVE TODAY.
We launched Saucy Brew Works with the idea in mind that we can build an elaborate brand alongside a vibrant community. We have seen our neighborhoods support us every step of the way, which has only inspired us to find more ways to have our community members become true brand ambassadors and contributing partners of our company.
With an incredible product, team, and support system, we believe that we have the potential materializing at a rapid rate to grow the Saucy Brew Works brand into the next craft beer typhoon. We have our core business model set, and we believe we are on a trajectory of sustainable growth. There is no room for complacency within the culture we've built, so we need you to continue pushing boundaries and driving true success.
A quote that we live by, "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." So here we are, pushing ourselves to keep growing. Join the Saucy State of Mind and come along for the ride!
Saucy Brew Works is an Ohio-based production brewery and brewpub based in Cleveland, Ohio. We are in the middle of a massive expansion phase that began with our Pinecrest and Columbus brewpubs opening in 2020, despite the pandemic, and our Detroit brewpub opening in March 2021. We are also set to start construction on our Independence production facility in 2021, along with getting ready for our Charlotte brewpub construction to start.

Co-Issuance
Co-Issuer: Saucy Brew Works SE2 LLC
Address: 2885 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH 44113 State of Incorporation: OH
Date Incorporated: April 19, 2021
Investors will make their investments by investing in interests issued by the co-issuer, Saucy Brew Works SE2 LLC, for this offering, which is a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”).
Instead of issuing its securities directly to investors, the Company, Saucy Brew Works LLC, has decided to issue its securities to the SPV, which will then issue interests in the SPV to investors. The SPV has been formed by the Company and is a co-issuer of the securities being offered in this offering. The Company’s use of the SPV is intended to allow investors in the SPV to achieve the same economic exposure, voting power, and ability to assert rights under State and Federal law, and receive the same disclosures, as if they had invested directly in the Company. The Company’s use of the SPV will not result in any additional fees being charged to investors.
The SPV has been organized and will be operated for the sole purpose of directly acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company’s securities. As a result, an investor investing in the Company through the SPV will have the same relationship to the Company’s securities, in terms of number, denomination, type and rights, as if the investor invested directly in the Company.
In order to complete necessary tax filings, the SPV is required to include information about each investor who holds an interest in the SPV, including each investor's taxpayer identification number ("TIN") (e.g., social security number or employer indentification number). To the extent they have not already done so, each investor will be required to provide their TIN within the earlier of (i) two (2) years of making their investment or (ii) twenty (20) days prior to the date of any distribution from the SPV. If an investor does not provide their TIN within this time, the SPV reserves the right to withhold from any proceeds otherise payable to the investor an amount necessary for the SPV to satisfy its tax withholding obligations as well as the SPV's reasonable estimation of any penalties that may be charged by the IRS or other relevant authority as a result of the investor's failure to provide their TIN. Investors should carefully review the terms of the SPV Subscription Agrement for additional information about tax filings.

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.

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.

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.
