Signature Brew launches crowd-funding push: Signature Brew, the "music-inspired" brewing operation, known for its collaboration beers with musicians, has launched a fund-raising push on Crowdcube, looking to raise £125,000 in return for 13% of its equity in order to open its own brewery. Sam McGregor and Tom Bott founded Signature Brew in 2011, coming together from music and drinks industry backgrounds to brew music-inspired craft beers. It currently raises 50 invoices a month at a value of £200 per invoice. The pitch states: “It's our belief that Signature Brew puts more focus on music than any other brewery, and no one has released more music collaborations than us. Set up in 2011 as a three-man crusade against the monotonous nature of the beer at all the gigs we'd attended. When the music on stage was a labour of love and art, we didn’t want to enjoy it with passionless, uninspiring and insipid lagers. We now want investors to help us grow our business, and establish our own production facility in East London. Our mission is to bring great music and amazing craft beer closer together under one brand by brewing the best beers possible, and making people as excited about them as we are. We will strive to build the Signature Brew brand regionally, nationally and internationally in to 2017 when we conservatively estimate that the valuation would be a minimum of £5m, this is based on strong projected earnings of £1.25m in 2017 with ebitda of 22%. Tom Bott is a member of the Bott family that run successful regional brewer Titanic in Stoke on Trent, where he received his formal training. At the same time as working in several breweries across the UK, he studied business in Manchester. He also has experience in the on-trade world having run various beer-focused outlets in Staffordshire."
