Acquisition Opportunity Recent ownership change with Benchmark Beverage acquiring Roak Brewing Co. at end of 2024 presents a potential opportunity to re-engage distribution, licensing, or co-packing partnerships, leveraging Benchmark’s network to scale Roak’s presence.

Distributor Network Roak’s products are already distributed to restaurants and fine retailers throughout southeast Michigan, indicating established B2B channels ripe for upsell, seasonal promos, and targeted regional expansion discussions with key on-premise and off-premise accounts.

Product Synergy Core lineup includes accessible IPAs, stouts, and Belgian strong dark ales, offering cross-sell opportunities with food partnerships (deck-oven pizzas, artisanal boards) and potential private-label collaborations for hospitality groups seeking craft beverage programs.

Growth Readiness Revenue is reported in the $1M-$10M range with a lean team (2-10 employees), signaling high upside potential for scaled sales initiatives, improved distribution efficiency, and investment in sales/BD roles to accelerate market reach.

Legacy and Retrofits Past consolidation activities, including Dark Horse Brewing acquisition and planned facility consolidation, suggest a strategic pivot window for new partnerships, brand repositioning, or co-marketing efforts to capitalize on a leaner cost base and renewed focus.
