Company Description
Here Today is first and foremost a brewery--making beer largely for onsite consumption and a limited amount of canned and bottled beer sold out the door as well as kegs sold to a curated list of influencer bar and restaurant accounts. Second, we are a bar and restaurant--serving lunch and dinner to locals and tourists alike.
In five years we want to be a landmark operation on the waterfront, expanding our brewing production significantly. We want to be a household name in the local and regional beer scene as a destination brewery experience. Our goal, however, is always gentle controlled growth. We want to grow in a way that enables us to stay true to our core values of great liquid and even better hospitality. Our number one goal is for people to remember how good they felt when they visited us!Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
