REASONS TO INVEST

Reasons Icon

In an industry of large companies that mass-produce industrialized beer, Lanikai Brewing Company creates authentic, Hawaiʻi-made craft beer and spirits using native, premium ingredients and is one of the most sustainable breweries in the country.

Reasons Icon

The global craft beer market had a 2021 value of $26.8 billion and is only continuing to grow.* Lanikai Brewing Company is thriving in this market, experiencing exponential growth. Hawaiʻi is one of the smallest producer markets (only 18 breweries state-wide), yet we receive around 8.5 million visitors per year. As it stands, we have a disproportionate amount of breweries per visitor compared to other places, putting local producers in high demand. Hawaiʻi is also the springboard to the Asian markets, opening doors to tremendous opportunities for local businesses.

Reasons Icon

The company aligns itself to modern consumer values by focusing on authenticity, sustainability, and transparency.* We have always been community-focused, and it’s time to have more community owners.

the pitch

Lanikai Brewing Company (LBC) is an independently-owned, innovative, Island Inspired®, Hawaiʻi-made craft beer and spirits venture. Devoted to the islands of Hawaiʻi and the local community, Lanikai is one of the most sustainable breweries in the country and incorporates ingredients grown locally and native to Hawaiʻi  in all products. Our local Kailua, Oʻahu taproom is a family-friendly gathering place with indoor and outdoor seating, a food menu, and a full-service bar. Numerous additional locations are in motion for the near future, including Hilo, Oʻahu’s North Shore, and another neighbor island location. Lanikai Brewing is also currently working to upscale to a larger production facility within the coming years in order to keep up with our increasing product demand. 

overview


Taste our love of and commitment to Hawaiʻi in every Lanikai beer and spirit

Lanikai’s distinguished beers and spirits result from our never-ending commitment to preserve the beauty and integrity of Hawaiʻi. Our products are bold, flavorful, and seasonal, and our business practices are transparent and island-first, using ingredients local to Hawaiʻi. We are proud to be one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable breweries in the nation, and our restaurant and brewpub is registered as “Ocean Friendly” by the Surfrider Foundation. 



THE BUSINESS MODEL


We’ve created a line of Island Inspired beers and spirits to represent Hawaiʻi in the craft beverages market

In an industry that consists of large companies that mass-produce industrialized beer and spirits, we take our cues from premium, local, rare, and exotic ingredients, grown by local farmers or foraged from across the Pacific, to produce bold and flavorful beverages, often using Native Hawaiian yeasts and microflora. We maintain a profound commitment to our community and islands in everything we do.  Already one of the most sustainable breweries/distilleries in the country, we are working towards becoming one of the first that is completely carbon-negative.



Spearheading our beer selection are our four Flagships: Moku Imperial IPA, Pillbox Porter, Party Wave Pilsner, and Cheehoo IPA. Our Hawaiian Wild Ales are brewed and fermented with yeast and bacteria found only in Hawaiʻi. We also offer 15 incredible Seasonal Beers which range from sours to barleywine, stouts to Hefs. We also produce exceptional small-batch spirits highlighting the authentic flavors of the islands: our lemongrass gin, our macadamia-flavored amaretto–“Macaretto”–as well as our latest addition - Pineapple Swipe, Pineapple Lilikoi Swipe, and Pineapple Mango Swipe – have all met great acclaim. We have been featured in Forbes Magazine, Lonely Planet as one of the Best Breweries in the World, KauKau, JTB, and countless other publications for our products.


The Market & our traction


Authentic Hawaiʻi-made beer and spirits is our distinctive niche in the booming craft beverage market

 

After prevailing through COVID-19 and adding even more superior offerings to our menu, Lanikai Brewing Company is poised to expand. We have recently secured a strong financial partner to help us establish a large production facility on Oʻahu and have 3 additional taproom/restaurant locations across the Hawaiian Islands already in motion. Most importantly, our distributor closed a deal with Anheuser-Busch (A-B) for exclusive distribution rights in Hawaiʻi, which has already led us to double our sales. As our brand strengthens, we find ourselves ideally situated to rise to the top of the multibillion-dollar craft beverage industry.




Why Invest


Join us in becoming the sustainable craft beer and spirits leader

This is the first time we are offering the public an opportunity to invest in a slice of our paradise. Since 2014, we’ve successfully produced exceptional, unique, and conscientious Hawaiʻi-made beer and spirits. We are selling 100% of what we make as fast as we can make it and are on track to reach three times our current distributions this year alone. We have huge opportunities to expand our brand direct-to-consumers and are building multiple restaurants across Hawaiʻi. But we need more capital to foster this growth. From wherever you are, you can be a part of our sun-soaked, drink-in-hand, adventure-seeking, island lifestyle. Un-tapped opportunity awaits.

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Capital, LLC. Some of these offerings are open to the general public, however there are important differences and risks.

Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
