Funding production upgrades and debt refinancing to support growth of a local craft brewery.

  • Strategic upgrades: Funds will be used to acquire new equipment and expand production capacity.
  • Operational momentum: Year-to-date revenue growth and improved gross margins reflect business progress.
  • Debt restructuring: Refinancing prior debt to reduce interest burden and improve financial flexibility.
  • Unique brand identity: Located in a high-traffic area with a strong thematic brand experience.
  • Established operations: Operational since 2017 with a proven local customer base.

Asylum Brewing is offering a bond raise to support operational scaling and financial restructuring for its Anaheim-based craft brewery. The business, situated near popular attractions like Disneyland, has seen increasing demand for its beer and themed experience. To meet this demand, Asylum Brewing plans to allocate most of the capital raised toward working capital investments. These include acquiring a canning line, additional grain for brewing, and expanding storage capacity to increase production capabilities. These upgrades are part of a broader strategy to enhance the main brewing location and enable a significant increase in output.

A portion of the funds will be used to refinance existing high-interest debt, freeing up internal resources for operational use. The improvements are aimed at enabling the company to better serve its existing customer base while also growing its market presence. By targeting equipment purchases and production capacity, Asylum Brewing intends to position itself for a larger footprint in the competitive craft beer market. The financing is not necessary for day-to-day survival but is intended to unlock higher production volumes and address prior capital constraints.
