our business model
Crafting Connection through Brews and Coffee
At Saucy Brew Works, our essence is built around the fusion of two beloved worlds: brewing and coffee. Now six years in, we've expanded to five vibrant locations, which encompass not only breweries but also coffee shops, recognizing the similarities between the craft of brewing coffee and crafting beer. We offer a diverse range of products, from our signature craft beers to vodka seltzers.
Our revenue model is structured with 87% of sales coming from retail, and the remaining 13% from distribution, which includes grocery stores and bars. We operate on the "pub and spoke" approach, with a central production facility supplying smaller, neighborhood-oriented pubs. As we evolve, our goal is to fine-tune our distribution strategy to fuel growth within each unique market. With each expansion lies the opportunity to transform communities and strengthen our presence through local partnerships.

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 indirectly through the SPV will have the same relationship to the Company's securities, in terms of number and rights, as if the investor invested directly in the Company as a Class C investor.
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 identification 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 otherwise 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 Agreement for additional information about tax filings.
Maximum number of Units offered subject to adjustment for bonus Units. See Bonus info below.*

***** Digital Gift Cards are only redeemable in-store through the company's point-of-sale software, i.e. not for use on the Company's online Shopify store. These will be sent out shortly after their investment is closed on.
****** Saucy Bucks will be delivered electronically and be for use in a specific merchandise catalog provided from Saucy Brew Works. Investors will receive Saucy Bucks shortly after their investment is closed on.

* In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.
Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive non-bonus share perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those non-bonus share perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account.
The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
Saucy Brew Works, LLC will offer 10% additional bonus units for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. owner's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine Unit holders will receive a 10% bonus for any units they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 Class C Units at $0.52/unit, you will receive and own 110 Class C units for $52. Fractional units will not be distributed, and unit bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole unit.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor’s eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus also will have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the Company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus and Loyalty Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.

Looks like you have some impressive beverages. How many stores are you in though and what's your strategy to expand to new states and new retail stores as well as sell online? Selling locally at your Saucy Brew Work locations and surrounding area is good but doesn't seem like a practical way to go national.

FAQS
Crowdfunding
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.

Hello can you tell me what flavors of Vodka Soda you are developing? Didn't see them on the website so I assume are not on market yet. Also what flavors of hard seltzer. Looks like they are 12oz cans. Any plans for a 16 or 24oz can? Do you know what they will be priced at yet? Do you have plans to market these new products on the East or West Coast?? Also, when do you estimate you will be profitable?
