If you’ve followed our journey until now, you will know that we’ve always been open about how we are financing Black Hops. Building a brewery costs money and from early on, we’ve documented a range of options we’ve used to make it happen. From our very first podcast where we recorded conversations with potential investors, to our successful reward-based crowdfunding …
