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.

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. 

• Production Facility and Beerhall - Independence, OH: This production facility has been a dream of the original ownership team since day one. Once the facility is fully operational, it will boast enough production space to compete within the US Top 50 Breweries based on BBL volume. In addition to the brewing capacity increase, the space will serve as a stunning beerhall, event center, and outdoor beer garden for all ages to enjoy. It will serve as our official headquarters, providing a place for our management team to call home. Saucy now owns the land where we will be building. The land is adjacent to Top Golf, making it a destination location for Northeast Ohio visitors. We expect to break ground in early-Summer 2021. 
• Brewpub - Charlotte, NC: Our first expansion effort out of the Midwest will be in North Carolina. The Queen City will become the first location within our second phase of geographical expansion. We are in the design phase with plans to begin construction in 2021. 
• Food Truck(s): We intend to launch a fleet of food and beer trucks in our local markets as the opportunity coincides with our efforts to build more service options within our communities. With this concept, we will have the ability to meet and serve locals at various parks, festivals, concert venues, and more. 
• Brewpub - Location TBD, Investor Choice: We will continue plans to expand outside of the Midwest, and intend to provide our investors with the opportunity to provide input on such locations. We have a few options currently on the table which include Nashville, TN, Tampa, FL, Miami, FL, and Park City, UT. 

FOOD TRUCKS

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!
