Fast growing craft brewery is very capital intensive. Constantly investing in new capacity and technology to keep up with the quality and quantity. We have found crowdfunding to be our way of funding the brewery. Bringing people with us and having a healthy financial structure at the same time.

When we asked 2016 from our 225 existing investors lately if they would invest more in growing Sori Brewing, 55,3 % said yes, 30,9 % said they might. That’s pretty good. Our investors gave us rating of 7,6 / 10 when it comes to investor communication.

We are an independent brewery, we don’t let the big sharks bite and we have no plans of cashing out. Sori Brewing is not a public listed company, but there are no restrictions in selling the shares.

We have great team behind Sori Brewing, along with business and brewing savvy founders we have an experienced Advisory Board for backup.
