Basalt Brewing Co.
A taproom expanding into canning and distribution. Already past its minimum, so the raise is committed to close — still open to backers up to its target.

Read video transcript
I'm one of the founders of Basalt Brewing. We started homebrewing in a garage and opened our Water Street District taproom in 2022. This raise funds a canning line so our beer can finally leave the taproom and get onto local shelves.
Their story
I homebrewed in my Henderson garage for six years before Basalt opened. My wife Elena and I mortgaged our own house to open the taproom in 2022, and every recipe on our board started as a five-gallon batch in that garage.
Our vision
We want Basalt to be Henderson's answer to a real neighborhood brewery — the kind of place where the person behind the bar remembers your usual, and where our cans are what locals bring to a barbecue instead of a national brand.

Why this will work
These are the business's own statements and plans. InvestLocal does not verify or guarantee them, and projections may not be achieved.
Where the money goes
- Canning line equipment$58,000
- Retail packaging & branding$18,000
- Barrel-aging program expansion$24,000
- Working capital$20,000
The growth plan
This raise funds a canning line so we can distribute beyond the taproom. Month 1-2: install and certify the canning equipment. Month 3: first retail placements in two Henderson grocery stores. Month 5-6: expand to six retail accounts across Henderson and Green Valley.
Projection — an estimate from the business, not a guarantee of future results.
How we'll reach more customers
We're already past our minimum raise from taproom regulars alone — over 80,000 pours served since opening, a 4,000-member email list, and a standing Thursday trivia night that sells out every week.

Risk disclosures
You can lose your entire investment
Small businesses fail at high rates. If the business closes or its revenue falls, repayments stop and you may never receive your projected return — or recover your principal. Only commit money you can afford to lose entirely.
Returns depend on revenue, not promises
A Revenue-Share Note pays from a fixed percentage of the business's gross monthly revenue. There is no fixed schedule: low-revenue months mean small distributions, and zero-revenue months mean none. The estimated repayment timeline is a projection, not a commitment.
Revenue figures are self-reported in this preview
During this simulation phase the business itself reports its monthly revenue, and figures are not independently verified. Verified revenue feeds (point-of-sale or bank-data integration) are planned before any real repayments occur.
No equity, no voting rights, no upside beyond the multiple
A note is not stock. You receive no ownership, no vote, and no share of the business's growth beyond the fixed repayment multiple. If the business becomes wildly successful, your return is still capped at the multiple.
These notes are illiquid
There is no market to resell a Revenue-Share Note. Expect your money to be committed until the note is repaid in full — which may take years, or never complete.
Escrow protects the raise, not the repayment
Third-party escrow safeguards funds only until a campaign reaches its minimum target. Once released to the business, repayment depends entirely on the business's ongoing performance.
