What if every time you went into your favorite bar or brewery you got to say “I helped start this” and it was true? With MFS you can do that, by helping us launch a brewery bringing a beer and service experience unlike any other.

Funding opportunities for the brewery and taproom available to the public will include three options depending on the level of the financial involvement, the interest in brewery benefits, and the length of the involvement desired.  The below benefits are preliminary and subject to change and do not constitute a legally binding agreement.  For more information or to inquire about investing/supporting, contact us.

Investors Opportunity – with monetary rewards!

Let your money, make you money (and bring you great beer)! Investing in MFS is you loaning us money to start a brewery and taproom and making money through investment returns. Returns will be paid annually based on Net profits. The percentage return may vary based on business performance and will pay up to a maximum of 10% of the capital investment annually. That’s better than any money market, CD, or savings account rates we can find! Invested capital may not be withdrawn or modified in any way during the 5-year investment cycle.

At the end of the five-year period investors will be given the opportunity to “cash out” their initial investment in the brewery or to renew their investment and be a part of an expansion cycle for a second five years. The investment terms of the second cycle will be determined after further valuation of business progress and investment need.

In addition to having your name on our Founder’s Wall for having helped us open the brewery as an initial investor, the Investor tier includes:

  • Investors receive a return on their initial investment based on the declared annual cycle.
  • Invite to “Supporter” opening night.  Before the soft opening we will have two pre-openings.  One for Supporters and Investors, and one for the service industry and friends.  
  • Anniversary Party invites.  We will hold yearly “anniversary parties” where we invite supporters to come and try samples of different beers that have been aging in barrels.  Those individual beers will be blended at different ratios in order to create our anniversary beer as well as a couple of our barrel aged bottle series.

Monetary rewards are as follows (all are non-compounded, based on net profits and other details apply):

$50K and above – 6-10% annual return on investment

$10-49K – 4-8% annual return on investment

$5-9K – 2-6% annual return on investment

Supporters Opportunity

In addition to having your name on our Founder’s Wall for having helped open the brewery as an initial supporter, the Support tier includes:

  • One free beer on Thursday Garage Club Nights
  • In house 10% discount on all brewery purchases including bar tab, pre-packaged beer, bottles, shirts and other merchandise.
  • Invite to “Supporter” opening night.  Before the soft opening we will have two pre-openings.  One for Supporters and Investors, and one for the service industry and friends.  
  • Pre-Anniversary Party invites.  We will hold yearly “pre-anniversary parties” where we invite supporters to come and try samples of different beers that have been aging in barrels.  Those individual beers will be blended at different ratios in order to create our anniversary beer as well as a couple of our barrel aged bottle series.  The anniversary party will coincide with the release of the anniversary beer, tickets will be sold to the general public with priority given to Supporters and Garage Club members.
  • Priority access to bottle and can releases. Supporters will be able to pre-order a limited number of bottles and specialty can releases that will be held at the brewery for them to pick up.  Bottles and cans will then go to Garage Club members to purchase and then opened to the general public. 
  • Invitations to early taste tests and to give your input on our next beer creations! That’s right, YOU get a say in the beers we’re making and just how far down the rabbit hole we go with different styles and flavors!
  • Included Garage Club membership and all included benefits for ten years (a $3,000 value!). Garage Club membership will not open to the public until the second year MFS Brewing is open so the only people included in Garage Club benefits the first year will be Supporters.

Supporter tier – $5K (includes $3K of Garage Club membership rewards and other details apply)
