How It Works

A disciplined path from idea to drink

Every proposal moves through the same transparent process - so you always know where your drink stands.

01

Propose it

Submit your idea through the proposal form - the drink, the occasion, the beverage style, the crowd you can rally. Anyone 18+ can apply: individuals, friend groups, wedding parties, creators, venues, businesses and clubs.

02

Develop it

Our brewery team reviews feasibility - recipe, technical viability, legal compliance and costing. We move your proposal through structured statuses: Screening, Feasibility review, Costing, and Offer sent.

03

Rally your crowd

Once accepted and prepared, your campaign goes live. Share it, gather commitments, and watch the funding gauge climb. Supporters commit to buy through the campaign page.

04

We make it

When enough commitments and successful payments are secured, we brew, package and deliver. Your crowd gets the drink they helped bring to life.

The Pipeline

Proposal status pipeline

Your proposal passes through these statuses as it moves toward production. Not every proposal reaches the end - some are deferred or declined, and that's part of responsible production.
