"Let's be more than friends. Let's be BrewMigos."
A craft beer collective built by brewers, backed by believers, and dedicated to keeping independent craft brewing alive.
Small independent breweries built the craft beer movement. Today, many of them are fighting to survive — squeezed by rising costs, distributor leverage they don't have, and marketing budgets they can't afford. Too many great breweries are closing not because the beer got bad, but because the business got hard.
BrewMigos Collaborative takes equity stakes in independent craft breweries we believe in, then brings the collective infrastructure — purchasing power, distribution relationships, shared marketing, and consolidated back-office — that lets each one compete like a bigger operation while staying exactly what they are. Starting in Missouri and growing from there.
Each brewery in the BrewMigos collective keeps its own identity, culture, and recipes — while gaining the strength of the whole.
Are you a craft brewery owner anywhere in the US? Let's have a conversation →
Every brewery that joins BrewMigos gains access to a full suite of shared resources — the kind that larger operations take for granted and smaller ones can't afford alone.
This isn't a rollup. No one is rebranding your taproom, changing your recipes, or telling you what to brew. The craft spirit that built your brewery is exactly what we're investing in.
BrewMigos was built on that belief. We've worked in breweries. We've cleaned tanks, run kegs, managed distributors, and brewed award-winning beer. We know what you built and we know what it took. That's exactly why we're doing this differently.
The CANarchy model showed us what works. The PE pressure that followed showed us what to avoid. BrewMigos is patient, craft-first, and built to last — not to flip.
A straightforward deal. No fine print designed to squeeze you out. No term sheets on the first visit.
No pressure, no pitch deck. We come in as customers first — drink your beer, talk to your staff, get a feel for what you've built. If there's a fit, we reach out for a real conversation. If not, no hard feelings.
BrewMigos acquires a majority stake — typically 51% — in your brewery. You retain the remaining equity. You still own a meaningful piece of what you built, with real upside as the collective grows.
You stay in charge of day-to-day operations — your recipes, your staff, your taproom culture, your community presence. BrewMigos handles the business infrastructure. The brewing is still yours.
You gain access to shared purchasing, distribution relationships, marketing, and fully consolidated back-office — IT, HR, accounting, banking, and excise tax reporting. What you couldn't afford alone, the collective makes possible.
Rick brings 15 years of professional brewing experience across some of the most respected operations in the country. At Oskar Blues in Longmont, Colorado — one of the nation's pioneering craft breweries — he worked the wort production floor on a 4-vessel, HMI-based 50 BBL brewhouse, monitoring temperatures, pH, yeast pitching, and sensory across the full production cycle. As Head Brewer at WYOld West Brewing Company in Powell, Wyoming, he managed all aspects of a 10 BBL brewhouse including inventory, ordering, distribution, sales, and recipe formulation. At Stonehome Brewing in Watford City, North Dakota, he oversaw everything within the brewery — recipe development, award-winning production, and a consistent drive to make good beer better. A US Army veteran (active duty 1995–2000, reserve 2000–2003), Rick has described craft brewers as "a collaborative bunch" — a philosophy that sits at the heart of everything BrewMigos is built to be. He is currently developing Rick's Brewing Company in Jefferson City, Missouri, the anchor brewery of the BrewMigos collective.
Tyler brings a rare combination of craft beverage industry experience and investment acumen to BrewMigos. As former Sales Manager and Assistant Brewer at Stonehome Brewing in Watford City, North Dakota, he served as the single point of contact for all distributor relations — order fulfillment, product inventory, new sales, and customer support — while remaining equally at home cleaning the brewhouse, running kegs, and getting product canned and ready for distribution. He didn't just manage the sales side; he worked the floor. A passionate advocate for the craft, Tyler has described brewing as "the difference between a sprint and a marathon — producing high quality artisanal flavors that people can have in their glass at the end of the day and enjoy." That philosophy, combined with his equity-backed investment position and deep commitment to sustainability in fermentation, makes him the right financial partner to build something built to last.
If you're a craft brewery owner anywhere in the US who's proud of what you've built but feeling the pressure of doing it alone — we want to hear from you. No term sheets on day one. Just a real conversation between people who know this industry.
