INTRODUCTION
Armed Forces Brewing Company is a Military tribute craft brewing company that pays homage to our great American Military – both active duty and Veterans.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY MONEY?
We used investments from thousands of patriotic Americans to grow our brand, increase distribution into more states and… as we promised… to acquire our own brewing facility. We will continue to use every dollar invested to brew great beer and grow our brand, sales and distribution. We plan to continue building a team to scale Armed Forces Brewing Company across the country, and eventually internationally as well.
This round we plan to use the new capital to expand into more states, increase distribution within the states we are already in, introduce new beers to our lineup, and open our first taproom outside of our flagship facility in Norfolk.
