Westbound & Down, a Colorado craft brewery renowned for its award-winning beers and innovative brewpub model, has announced a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) investment opportunity designed to accelerate its regional and national growth strategy.
The brewery, which has already established a robust presence across Colorado with 298 bar and restaurant partnerships and 329 retail locations including Whole Foods, plans to leverage the community investment to dramatically scale its operations. With a leadership team featuring Michelin-star restaurant experience, Westbound & Down aims to increase its brewing capacity from 5,000 barrels in 2024 to 19,000 barrels by 2028.
The strategic expansion includes distribution plans to enter six additional states, targeting key markets such as California, Texas, and New York. Recent infrastructure and automation improvements position the brewery to double production within four months, providing a significant competitive advantage in the craft brewing landscape.
CEO Jake Gardner emphasized the community-driven approach, stating that the Reg CF investment allows supporters and beer enthusiasts to directly participate in the company’s growth. Unlike traditional brewery expansions requiring $4-5 million in investment, Westbound & Down’s existing infrastructure enables more efficient scaling while maintaining high-quality standards.
With over 20 industry awards from prestigious competitions like the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup, the brewery has demonstrated its commitment to exceptional craft brewing. The investment opportunity represents a unique chance for individuals to support an independent, rapidly growing craft brewery with a proven track record of innovation and quality.
