CraftHaus Brewery to utilize Kickstarter.com to Create First Open Concept Brewery in Las Vegas
(Las Vegas) – CraftHaus Brewery, a soon-to-be artisanal, craft brewery that creates quality ales, launched an online funding campaign to raise crucial funding to build the first open concept, brewery and taproom combination in Las Vegas. “This is the first brewery of its kind that will call the Vegas Valley home as it will not offer gaming or a restaurant,” said Wyndee Forrest, owner. “We want to focus on the beer, not offer distractions from it.” Using Kickstarter.com, an online funding platform for creative projects, CraftHaus will aim to garner the support of beer aficionados and community-minded patrons to raise $20,000 for a pilot brewing system and licensing.
The CraftHaus Brewery Kickstarter campaign launched today and will run online for 28 days. Donation levels start as low as $5.00 and go up to $5,000. Rewards will be offered in gratitude, such as merchandise, loyalty program membership, and the opportunity to design and name a beer. The stakes are high since Kickstarter is an all or nothing funding platform, so if the goal is not met, there will be nothing earned. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1541347381/crafthaus-brewerytraditional-but-tweaked-beers
Their Kickstarter campaign will also donate 5 percent of proceeds to the newly formed Nevada Craft Brewers Association. Once opened, CraftHaus will be honoring its supporters by giving back a portion of proceeds from a designated tap handle to local non-profit organizations.
Since its launch in 2009, kickstarter.com has had over $500 million pledged by more than 3 million people, funding over 35,000 creative projects.
“Wyndee and Dave are passionate, wonderful people and I’m confident they’ll help put Vegas on the craft beer map.” said Patrick Rue, Founder/CEO The Bruery, Placentia, CA.
