Can the Co-op be financially successful?

Yes! We are very confident of this. Our business plan shows the potential of profit by the second or third year of operation, using very realistic assumptions. The intent is that the Co-op will have the ability to generate profit so that we can provide additional services to the membership and the community. Future decisions will determine how the funds are used. Some of these actions may include enhancement of the services offered in the brewery, expansion of the brewery, reduction of prices, increased dividends for members, increased wages, or investment in community projects. The membership, through the Board of Directors, will make the decisions about these actions.
