THE PROBLEM & OUR SOLUTION The Problem The Challenge in Craft Beer & Hospitality The craft beer industry is highly competitive, with many breweries struggling to scale and create a lasting impact. Traditional brewpubs often face high labor costs and operational inefficiencies, limiting profitability and guest experience. Consumers seek high-quality, innovative beer in engaging social spaces, but few breweries successfully merge these elements. Our Solution How FiftyFifty Brewing Stands Out FiftyFifty Brewing combines award-winning craft beer with a hybrid hospitality model, offering an elevated social club experience that blends table service, counter service, and cutting-edge technology. With a lengthy track record, growing national and international distribution, and two new locations opening in 2025, our approach is designed to enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency over time, though results may vary. THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION A Thriving Market Opportunity The U.S. craft beer industry is a $28 billion market, fueled by consumers seeking premium, locally brewed beverages. Our innovative social club model taps into the massive $1.5 trillion restaurant and hospitality sector, offering a scalable, community-driven experience that blends exceptional craft beer with a welcoming social atmosphere. *The future plans illustrated in this graphic are subject to change and are not guaranteed. The 4-Pronged Value of our Social Club Model We are expanding by pairing a Social Club with the traditional beer distribution business. We believe there are significant synergies. 1. Profitability Model – We’ve developed a scalable approach that is designed to optimize profitability with each new Social Club and Pilot Brewery. 2. Optimized Production – We plan for each Social Club to brew some of its beer on-site, while our state-of-the-art global production facility in Truckee will handle larger volumes. This synergy increases distribution flow, giving us stronger leverage in contracts and sales. 3. Economies of Scale – Higher production volume from our Truckee facility is expected to drive down costs, which may improve unit economics and overall profitability. 4. Strategic Market Expansion – By placing Social Clubs and Pilot Breweries in key markets, we establish a strong local presence, boosting brand awareness and deepening customer engagement. Proven Growth & Industry Recognition With 17 years of brewing excellence, FiftyFifty Brewing has earned global recognition, winning numerous awards for quality and innovation. 2023 World Beer Cup Bronze Awards, Tahoe American Lager, Gold Medal, American Style Lager 2023 World Beer Cup Awards, Tahoe Pilz, Bronze Medal, Bohemian Pilsener 2024 European Beer Star Award, Tahoe Pilz, Gold Medal, Bohemian-Style Pale Lager With distribution across 11 states and multiple countries—including Europe, Asia, and Australia—we continue to expand our international presence. Expanding Our Reach in 2025 Strategic partnerships, such as collaborations with the Reno Aces and Palisades Ski Resort, have strengthened our brand. Looking ahead, we are planning to open three new social club locations in Truckee, Reno, and Mammoth as early as 2025, subject to regulatory and operational milestones, reflecting our commitment to crafting exceptional beer and redefining hospitality.
