Propose full-service event experiences, corporate tastings, and private dining that showcase award-winning beers (WiLD SOUR Series, Saint Dekkera Reserve) alongside bold food pairings.

Growth through licensing With official partnerships for licensed beers at campuses and events, target expansion into additional university partnerships, regional sports venues, and festival circuits to broaden distribution and drive on-premise traffic.
