Dainton Brewing launches crowdfunding campaign

Award-winning Melbourne craft brewery Dainton has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign to finance plans for a new tap-house and barrel aging program.

Investors will soon have the chance to own a part of the brewery for as little as $100. Dainton Brewery is raising up to $1million from investors through an equity crowdfunding offer with Birchal.

The brewery was born in 2013, with its first beer, “The Red Eye Rye”, winning the Champion Australian Amber/Dark ale at the 2018 Independent Beer Awards. It is the highest ranked Amber ale in Australia and number 13 in the world on ratebeer.com. 

Dainton co-founder Dan Dainton has been considering the prospect of crowdfunding for years as a way to expand operations and to get more like-minded beer lovers involved. 

“We are very excited about the opportunity to offer shares in the company and to give people the chance to become more involved in what we do,” he said. “We are a very collaborative company and are 100% family owned. In fact, we function like a family with everyone having their say. It leads to wonderful creativity and diversity in what we produce.”

The Dainton Brewery offer will feature investment rewards from $100 and up to $10,000 for retail investors. Investors will receive ordinary shares in the company and also be offered priority access to limited release beers as a reward.

“The extra goodies we’re throwing in as value-adds are really a big part of what we want to offer. Having exclusive beer releases that only ‘family members’ [shareholders] have access to is something we want to pioneer as a way of thanking the people that have stood behind us.

“Our new ‘family members’ are most likely to be current fans who want to have more input and collaboration with us and other supporters of what we do. We’re expecting that even some actual blood-relatives will tip-in with Dainton’sfrom the US and UK being long-time fans.

“We think that we’re offering terrific value to investors and we’re looking forward to having more like-minded people onboard with us as we grow our company and enjoy the ride along the way.”

Funds raised will go towards a new barrel ageing program, bottling line and also towards opening a new tap-house 30 minutes from the current brewery.
