Expanding a locally focused craft brewery by increasing production capacity, improving facilities, and refinancing debt.

• Locally sourced production: Uses 100% Eastern Washington ingredients including wild yeast cultures and local honey.
• Family-owned and operated: A small, community-focused brewery committed to supporting local businesses and nonprofits.
• Expansion-focused use of funds: Capital supports increased brewing capacity and taproom improvements.
• Recognition and growth: Reopened in 2023 and expanding both taproom and distribution presence.
• Craft Malt Certified: Committed to sustainable sourcing through certified local grain producers.

Taneum Creek Brewing is raising funds to support the continued growth of its small, family-owned brewery and taproom located in Cle Elum, Washington. After reopening in a new location in 2023, the business has steadily expanded through both its taproom operations and distribution network. With a focus on hyper-local ingredients sourced entirely from Eastern Washington, Taneum Creek Brewing produces a range of craft beer styles including farmhouse ales brewed with wild yeast cultures harvested from native flora. This offering seeks to provide the capital needed to improve brewing infrastructure, refinance short-term debt, and enhance the taproom environment for customers.

The funds will be used to consolidate high-interest debt into more favorable terms, invest in essential brewing equipment such as fermentors and a glycol chiller to increase production capacity, and complete improvements to the taproom to attract and serve more patrons. As part of their expansion strategy, Taneum Creek Brewing aims to double production and sales volume in the upcoming year. This growth would enable the addition of new employees and potentially position the business to purchase the property at the end of the lease term. With a commitment to community building and sustainable sourcing, Taneum Creek Brewing offers a unique, place-based approach to craft brewing that continues to draw local support and recognition.
