Modern Times: We'd like to formally invite you to the party. | Wefunder

Modern Times is an intrepid cadre of brewers, coffee roasters, and culinary wizards that began as a 30bbl production brewery and tasting room in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. It was founded by Jacob McKean, a Stone Brewing alum, who raised $1.25m to open a full-scale production brewery on day one.Since then, we have enormously exceeded our business plan targets. Modern Times has become one of the most successful breweries in the nation, with full distribution on the West Coast and a fervent following in seven states

We currently operate five tasting rooms: 3 in San Diego, 1 in the L.A. area, and 1 in Portland, OR. This year, we anticipate opening three new locations in Santa Barbara, Oakland, and Anaheim. Tasting rooms allow us to give our customers the full-spectrum Modern Times experience while simultaneously boosting sales for surrounding wholesale accounts, and expanded production facilities will allow us to meet robust and steadily increasing demands for our beer & coffee

Our beer & coffee can be found in over 7,000 retail stores and bars around the country. Wholesale accounts include the likes of Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Costco, Disneyland, Angel Stadium, and Petco Park (the San Diego Padres stadium). Our retail accounts work in concert with our own properties, creating a lift effect for both sides of the business that neither could achieve alone. We are partnered with 25+ distributors, each of whom we work with closely to ensure that our beverages consistently reach our fans at peak radness

We’ve accomplished a truly exceptional feat in the brewing world: we're a successful distribution brand and a boutique producer of highly sought-after special releases, all while remaining independently owned. We now have the infrastructure, senior leadership and brewing team, and physical space to take this already-substantial accomplishment to the next level

But it's not just the employees building this company; it's our fans too. The people who drink our beer and coffee have been instrumental in fundamentally shaping us as a company and have played a key role in our success. We’re thrilled to give our fans the opportunity to benefit from the growth they’ve been such an integral part of creating

We hope you'll join us
