Series Seed Preferred Stock

Business Description: Superbrew Acquisition Inc. produces and distributes real fruit-based hard beverages (4.5-6.0% alcohol) that are low-calorie, gluten-free, and vegan. Unlike traditional blended seltzers (White Claw, Truly), the Company’s beverages are brewed, offering a unique, more flavorful alternative within the “beyond beer” category.

Sales Drivers: A relaunched Company, Willie’s Superbrew is a well-known brand with a strong customer base (120,000 cases sold across 10 states in 2021). Preexisting relationships with distributors (10 by 8/2023) and retailers (300 targeted by 8/2023) are now accelerating the re-introduction of 3 product SKUs to market in 6 states. Using a data-driven approach, the Company strategically optimizes its yield from marketing campaigns to ensure comprehensive product placement across its servicing footprint.

Addressable Market: The “beyond beer” market is currently a $10BN opportunity in the U.S., with approximately 1/3 consumed in the Northeast and Southeast – the Company’s initial target markets. Partnerships with co-packers ensure that Willie’s Superbrew can be brewed anywhere in the U.S and enable the Company to remain asset-light, reducing capital requirements.

Management: Superbrew Acquisition Inc. is led by CEO Mark Hegedus, a 35-year beverage-industry veteran (AB InBev, Molson-Coors, Red Bull). Under his guidance, the Company has assembled an experienced leadership team.

Superbrew Acquisition Inc. (“Superbrew”, the “Issuer”, or “The Company”) is issuing a minimum of $1,000,000 and up to $2,600,000 in Series Seed Preferred Stock (the “Stock” or “Securities”) to build inventory to meet distribution goals.

Business Opportunity

Business Opportunity

  • Alternative beverage styles like Hard Seltzers, ready-to-drink cocktails, and hard kombuchas have taken market share from major US beer brands such as Bud Light, Modelo Especial, Michelob Ultra, and Coors Light.
  • Capitalizing on shifting consumer preferences, numerous hard seltzer brands surged into the market, ultimately oversaturating the space with numerous "me-too" products. The hard seltzers in the market today lack fullness and are often described as having the taste profile of "soda water and alcohol with some fruit flavoring." What was once new and novel has been found lacking in both flavor and innovation, but nascent demand remains strong for an utterly unique beverage offering.
  • Branding a new consumer good poses significant challenges and high expenses.
  • For many beverage companies, the capex-intensive nature of manufacturing processes presents material obstacles to scaling quickly and broadly.

Company Solution

  • Willie’s Superbrew has a richer, fuller flavor profile than competing seltzer brands, owing to its all-natural, all-real ingredients list and brewing process. In bar taste-tests, Willie’s Superbrew outperforms leading craft-brewed beer brands and other popular seltzers. These results are validated by the Company’s numerous awards and distinctions from national competitions and publications.
  • As a relaunched Company, Superbrew Acquisition Inc. benefits from pre-existing brand loyalty, established marketing efforts, and distribution channels. The Company can leverage these assets to accelerate its expansion strategy beyond its traditional New England footprint.
  • Superbrew Acquisition Inc. has partnered with a leading co-manufacturer on the East Coast, allowing the Company to remain asset-light and focus on marketing, consumer engagement, and innovation. This approach enables quick and cost-effective scaling of manufacturing across multiple co-packing facilities nationwide, reducing transportation costs and better serving regional distribution partners.

Company Information

Background

Willies Logo

Superbrew Acquisition Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in June 2022 by a consortium of three investors, facilitating the purchase of key assets by the Company from Farmer Willie’s in August 2022. Following the acquisition of Farmer Willie’s assets by the Company, the founders of Superbrew Acquisition Inc. supported preliminary operations with a series of bridge note investments, which will be rolled into the current capital raise on the same terms.

Superbrew Acquisition Inc. was formed based on the strong belief that Farmer Willie's fruit-centric recipes, distinctive brewing methods, and brand recognition are unique and differentiated assets whose value can be realized under new management with a clearer commercialization focus.

Going forward, Superbrew Acquisition Inc.’s mission is to push the “beyond beer” boundary and deliver uncompromisingly fun and exciting beverages brewed with real ingredients. The Company is equally committed to the health and lifestyle attributes that drinkers (especially younger and more active consumers) are increasingly seeking, namely a low-carb, low-calorie, gluten-free, vegan profile.

Management Team

Chief Executive Officer (CEO): Mark Hegedus, a beverage industry veteran, will manage and oversee the execution of the Company’s product, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution strategies. Prior to joining Willie’s Superbrew, Hegedus served as Chief Commercial Officer at Untitled Art Beverages in Wisconsin and as Chief Sales Officer at Founders Brewing Company in Michigan. He also was President at the iconic Magic Hat Brewery in Vermont and held senior leadership roles at multiple AB InBev craft breweries. Hegedus also worked for a number of top consumer product companies like Red Bull, Molson-Coors, and Procter & Gamble.

Sales Director: Thomas Chrane will lead the Company in driving sales volume growth. Prior to joining Willie’s Superbrew, Chrane served as Director of Sales with Lone Pine Brewery in Maine and Vermont Cider Company in Vermont. He also held management positions with Pabst Brewing Company in California, Vermont Hard Cider Company, Craft Brewers Alliance in Oregon, and Redhook Ale Brewery and Bellavance Beverage in New Hampshire.

Sales Operations Director: Amanda Sylvester will lead the Company in operations. Prior to joining Willie’s Superbrew, Sylvester served as the Portfolio Company Operations Administrator for Downing Capital Group and in Client Services with Bigelow LLC. She also obtained beverage industry experience with key marketing roles at Magic Hat Brewing Company in Vermont and Blue Point Brewing Company in NY.

Director of Marketing: Adrienne Mathias will lead the marketing and innovation strategy efforts for the Company. Prior to joining Willie’s Superbrew, Mathias was co-founder and president of the Creatively Partners agency. She also was Director of Consumer Marketing for Sperry and held multiple leadership positions with top agencies Hill Holiday and Carmichael Lynch.

Product

Venn diagram

The Company’s products owe their distinctive attributes to the proprietary production methods the Company has developed, utilizing real ingredients, particularly real fruit, to create the depth and complexity that consumers demand in a brewed beverage. Instead of blending “natural” or artificial flavoring with a prefabricated alcohol base, Superbrew Acquisition Inc. delivers on the promise laid out on its cans: it ferments and brews with real ingredients to bring out their full flavor.

xy axis

The Company’s beverages regularly defy attempts to be categorized as either a beer or a hard seltzer. Superbrew Acquisition Inc. has not only racked-up a formidable list of accolades from influential industry commentators, it has also won a significant number of awards over the past 5 years in both beer and hard seltzer competitions. The breadth of awards earned by the Company’s Superbrews tangibly and externally validate Superbrew’s success at creating a quality product.

Customers

Consumers today are health conscious

According to surveys conducted by the Company, customers prioritize two key factors when selecting alcohol to purchase: the ability to list all ingredients and a low calorie count. A close third in importance is sugar content. These preferences align with the declining sales in the traditional beer market, as consumers increasingly opt for lower calorie and gluten-free beverages.

Willie's Superbrew, brewed with real superfruits and other natural ingredients, is well-positioned to capture this growing demand, providing an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers seeking a flavorful and refreshing alternative in the alcohol market.

Importance chart

Consumers prefer craft beverage companies over large corporations

In today's market, consumers demonstrate a preference for local companies and sustainable business practices over large, faceless corporations. This trend indicates that businesses that prioritize local sourcing, ethical practices, and environmental responsibility are likely to gain favor and build stronger connections with their target audience. Taking a craft approach to the hard seltzer space, Superbrew fosters greater trust and loyalty among health-conscious consumers seeking products that reflect their personal values and contribute positively to the community and the environment.

Important

Market

The alcoholic beverage market has historically been divided into three large categories: spirits, wine, and beer. Beer today remains a juggernaut alcohol category valued at approximately $115Bn annually in the US. Compared to other alcohol categories, beer has a great value proposition in that it is convenient, social, and affordable. However, the category has seen gradual declines in recent years due to a host of factors, including demographics, health consciousness, and changing taste preferences to name a few. Yet another driver of beer’s market share loss is the growth of the “beyond beer” market.

The “beyond beer” category is constantly adapting to market dynamics but traces its roots to the craft beer movement. The emergence of craft beers was a function of stagnant innovation in the mass market beer producers coupled with an evolution of the consumer, who began seeking deeper flavor profiles and greater authenticity from brewers. The “beyond beer” category has expanded rapidly as somewhat of a catch-all category which includes ciders, hard kombuchas, and hard seltzers. Today, brands and new flavorings are prolific and existing brewers, including the mega alcohol corporations, offer consumers a wide array of options.

Consumers looking for an alternative to beer led to the rise of hard seltzers, which are seen as lighter, lower calorie, and more diverse in flavorings than traditional beers. However, while hard seltzers emerged as a more drinkable alternative, the Company finds that trendy hard seltzers consistently fall flat on the promise of flavor. Superbrew Acquisition Inc. is poised to step into the much-needed role of a truly flavorful, all-natural hard seltzer.

A. Investment Related Risks

Speculative Investment

The Securities being offered should be considered a speculative investment. The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives may be determined by factors beyond its control that cannot be predicted at this time. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to continue its business operations will prove to be sufficient to enable the Company to generate the funds required to make distributions. Anyone investing in the Securities should do so only if they are financially able to sustain the loss of their entire investment and should recognize that such a possibility exists.

No Secondary Market for the Securities

As this security is a private transaction, there is currently no public market for the securities being offered herein. These Securities are not publicly registered securities and will have no secondary sale liquidity.

Limited Operating History

The Company has a limited history of operations upon which an evaluation of the Company’s business and prospects can be based. No assurances can be given that the Company will ever be profitable or generate revenues sufficient to make distributions. This makes evaluating the Company’s business operations and validating its financial projections difficult. In assessing the Company’s prospects, a potential investor must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. These risks include the Company’s ability to: raise sufficient capital to fund operations, and other general corporate purposes; manage changing and expanding operations; establish and increase awareness of the Company’s brand and strengthen loyalty among prospective customers; implement and successfully execute the Company’s business and marketing strategies; respond effectively to competitive pressures and developments; continue to enhance the Company’s products and services; and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. The Company’s failure in any of these areas could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.

Units may be purchased by the affiliates of the Issuer, or by other persons who will receive fees or other compensation or gain dependent upon the success of the Offering. Such purchases may be made at any time and will be counted in determining whether the Minimum Offering Amount has been met for the First Closing of the Offering. Therefore, Investors should not expect that the sale of sufficient Units to reach the Minimum Offering Amount, indicates that such sales have been made to investors who have no financial or other interest in the Offering, or who otherwise are exercising independent investment discretion.

The sale of the Minimum Offering Amount, while necessary to the business operations of the Issuer, is not designed as a protection to investors, or to indicate that their investment decision is shared by other unaffiliated investors. Because there may be substantial purchases by affiliates of the Issuer, or other persons who will receive fees or other compensation or gain dependent upon the success of the Offering, no individual investor should place any reliance on the sale of the specified minimum as an indication of the merits of the Offering. Each investor must make his own investment decision as to the merits of this Offering.

B. Industry-Related Risks

Demand Related

Any substantial decline in the demand for products sold by the Issuer may cause a decline in the market value of Issuer’s product and negatively impact the Issuer’s financial performance.

Quality & Safety of the Products

Success for the Issuer’s business depends, in part, on the quality and safety of the Issuer’s products. If the products are found to be defective or unsafe, or if they otherwise fail to meet customer standards, relationships with customers could suffer. Further, the Issuer’s reputation could be diminished, and the Issuer could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on the business.

Regulatory Oversight

The Issuer’s activities are subject to international, federal, and state laws. The Issuer’s activities are expected to have a variety of regulatory oversight as development proceeds. Development of any of the Issuer’s operations will be dependent on the Issuer satisfying regulatory guidelines and, where required, being approved by governmental authorities. The Issuer intends to conduct their business activities in a compliant manner and in accordance with all applicable laws but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its performance, and which may have adverse financial implications.

Dependence on the Industry

The Company competes with others in the industry. Competitors include companies that may have greater financial and other resources than the Company. Additionally, these competitors could use strategies to prevent the Company from achieving its objectives and may gain market share. This may have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Company

Competition

Any negative changes in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

C. Management-Related Risks

Reliance on Key Personnel

Due to the size of the organization, the Issuer has a significant reliance on certain key employees, particularly Mark Hegedus and Amos Beason. If the Issuer is unable to retain key employees it could jeopardize the Issuer’s ability to implement its business plan, its relationships with its customers, and its financial stability.

Ability to Manage Growth

The Issuer expects to continue to grow its overall operations, and this may strain the Issuer’s resources. Any inability to manage growth effectively would have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s business.

D. Offering-Related Risks

Acceptance of Investors on a First-Come, First-Serve Basis

The Issuer reserves the right to accept or reject any proposed investment at its sole discretion. Subject to this discretion, it intends to accept investments on a “first-come, first-served” basis, with the consequence that Investors will be allocated a portion of the total Offering, based upon the amounts they have committed, in the order in which such commitments have been accepted. The Borrower is not required to accept all commitments tendered to it. There is no assurance, therefore, that your commitment will necessarily be accepted in whole or in part by it should it raise more or less funds than are needed to make its investments.

Possibility of Material Differences Between Projected and Actual Results

The financial projections contained in this Offering Summary and any supplements represent the Issuer’s estimated results of operations. The financial projections have been prepared upon the basis of assumptions and estimates which may differ from actual events and/or circumstances.

E. Federal Income Tax Risks

Lack of Rulings and Opinions; Possibility of IRS Challenge of the Issuer's Tax Position

The Company has not requested and will not request any tax ruling from the IRS regarding the tax consequences of the Company’s activities. Accordingly, there is no certainty as to the tax consequences of participating in the Security. The Company has not sought or obtained a legal opinion with respect to the tax treatment of the offering proceeds or issuance of the Security. Accordingly, Investors are urged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the federal and state tax consequences arising from participation in this Offering.

Risk of Audit to Investors

There is a possibility that the IRS will audit the Company’s income tax returns. If the Company’s income tax returns are audited, your return might also be audited.

Future Federal Income Tax Legislation and Regulations

No assurance can be given that the current Congress or any future Congress will not enact federal income tax legislation that could adversely affect the tax consequences of participating in the Offering.

F. Other Risks

Reliance on Certain Aspects of the Offering

Potential investors should not rely exclusively on one aspect of the security structure when making an investment decision on whether to participate in this Offering.

Unforeseen Risks

In addition to the above risks, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. Prospective investors reviewing this Offering Summary should keep in mind other possible risks that could be important to the success of their investment in the Securities.
