Since opening our doors in November 2015, we’ve sold close to 400 different beers & ciders from independent breweries here in South Australia, interstate and overseas. That’s a new beer every day of the year!
We only stock products from small, independently owned operations – the majority of which are based right here in South Australia. The sustainability of the craft-brewing industry in Australia relies heavily on venues like ours to get behind these ‘little guys’ and educate the public about the benefits of small batch, handcrafted beers and ciders.
Our success and popularity is an ode to the breweries themselves – they’re the ones who continually create new taste experiences for our customers. Nevertheless, those same customers keep asking us “Do you brew any of your own beer?”
We literally can’t wait to brew our own beer, hence the reason we’ve put together this crowdfunding campaign. We’re asking you, the super-generous-beer-loving community, to assist us by ‘pre-purchasing’ the beer we intend to brew. This will enable us to make the significant investment to purchase the raw materials for the beer, a fleet of new kegs, as well as the associated costs for using a commercial brewery.
Basically, it’s going to help us out with cashflow. In return, we’re going to help you out by offering some pretty tasty rewards…
In the unfortunate case the campaign is unsuccessful, that’s okay, we’re still going to brew our own beer, we’ll just have to wait until after Summer to do so.
We’re immensely grateful for the support we’ve received since opening day. It’s been incredible to become a part of the Semaphore community, and the brewing community, you’re a great bunch of people to drink with! So, as a MASSIVE THANK YOU, we have a bunch of very tempting rewards on offer:
If you have any questions about the rewards, or the crowdfunding process, feel free to shoot through an email to: hello@sweetamber.com.au or better yet, stop in for a beer and we can chat!
The funds will be quickly gobbled up by the following:
We’ve come to expect a few hurdles when running a business in an industry that’s as heavily regulated as the food & beverage sector. But we know what to look out for and we’ve got this covered.
Finally, we need a beer that represents Sweet Amber. We’re thinking along the lines of:
