Two Locals Brewing Company | Application Preview
Two Locals Brewing Company is seeking government grants to purchase essential equipment, specifically a steam boiler and glycol chiller, needed for their brewery's operations. Their business plan focuses on increasing sales through their taproom, hosting events like graduations and office parties, and expanding distribution to New Jersey and Delaware. They also plan to open a second location on Baltimore Avenue.
The brewery emphasizes its unique position as Philadelphia’s first black-owned brewery, highlighting substantial marketing potential in the area and beyond. Being the only black beer brand in Pennsylvania presents a distinctive advantage, especially as they are strategically located near University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and a major hospital, attracting local office parties and tourists.
In a competitive landscape mainly dominated by large breweries like InBev and MillerCoors, Two Locals stands out not only as a black-owned brand but also through its commitment to brewing beers that resonate with their personal tastes. This distinctive identity and focus on community engagement present a compelling reason for funding approval.
