Sour Beer Lead Wicked Weed built a standout sour program and operates the Funkatorium, the South's first sour beer-dedicated taproom. This strong category focus creates wholesale opportunities for sour SKUs, collaborations, and limited-edition releases with retailers and distributors in new markets.

Production Capacity With a 50-barrel Clean Production Facility and a 30k sq ft expansion, the brewery has scalable capacity to support contract brewing, white-label partnerships, and co-packing for private-label beer or other beverage brands seeking craft production.

Distributed Growth The brand has aggressively expanded distribution across North Carolina to 240 accounts, entered Georgia, and pursued markets in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. This network can be leveraged to accelerate new product launches and secure placements across on- and off-premise channels.

Experiential Footprint Four Asheville locations including three taprooms and a fine dining restaurant provide direct-to-consumer sales and brand experiences. This enables on-premise promotions, taproom exclusives, events collaborations, and co-branded retail programs to drive trials.

Innovation Momentum Recent launch of the Vicious Nectar line, including watermelon flavor and 9.1% ABV, demonstrates ongoing product innovation and the ability to drive premium offerings; opportunities exist for retailers to host tastings, seasonal releases, and cross-promotions in both on- and off-premise channels.
