From now through Dec. 2, “unaccredited investors” can buy stock in San Diego’s Mission Brewery.
The company is seeking to raise $17 million. While it’s look for money from little guys – who get a plaque on the wall – it won’t turn down donations as large as $500,000.
‘Our goal,” SAID Dan Selis, president/founder/ceo, “is to continue our rise by becoming a national household brand. Our plan is to build up to six more taprooms, continue expanding our already large distributor network, and bolster our marketing presence. San Diego is a hotbed for successful microbrews that’ve been acquired for tens of millions of dollars, and we’re on pace to compete with the biggest of them.”
Net sales last year were $4.5 million, and the bottling capacity has increased to 84,000 bottles a day from 14,000.
