A Note from the CEO
AN UPDATE FROM EVAN | AUGUST 5, 2024
After navigating through a challenging start to the year, I am thrilled to announce that Fair State has successfully exited Chapter 11. This milestone represents a fresh start for our brewery, and it would not have been possible without your unwavering support.
Over the past few months, we have been reminded of the strength and resilience that helped build our cooperative nearly ten years ago. Your belief in our vision and products keeps us motivated and inspired, even in the face of adversity. We are incredibly grateful for your support.
As we embark on this next chapter, we are more excited than ever about the future. Our team continues to be dedicated to crafting the highest quality beer and THC seltzers, and we are working on exciting new initiatives that we will be able to announce more details about soon.
Again, thank you for standing by us. Please join us in raising a glass the next time you are at the taproom to new chapters, great brews, and a bright future ahead.
A NOTE FROM EVAN, CO-FOUNDER & CEO | FEBRUARY 14, 2024
A sentence I never thought I would write: Fair State has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This does not mean we are shutting down—we are just restructuring our debt and will emerge on the other side stronger for it.
The simple fact is that the pandemic put Fair State in a hole that we need help to dig out of, and we have a solid plan to get through this together so we can continue making the great beer you know and love. We’re extremely lucky to be part of this community, and being part of a community means asking for support when you need it.
Here are five simple ways you can help us keep our doors open:
1. Come to our taproom early and often—and bring family and friends—so we can keep building our community together in the space you all know and love.
2. Buy Fair State and Chill State at your local bar and liquor store. If it’s not available, ask for it. Even better, head to shopchillstate.com to have Chill State delivered straight to your door nationwide.
3. Buy a Fair State gift card online or at the taproom. Gift cards are an immediate way to support us financially without losing a dime (and while gaining delicious beer later!).
4. Spread the word about Fair State within your own communities. You would be amazed at how many people still don’t know about us. Consider becoming a member or gifting a membership to share the experience with your friends and family.
5. Share your favorite Fair State photo memory and tag us @FairStateCoop! Showing the strength of our community is the best possible publicity.
Thank you for being part of our community—we appreciate each and every one of you and hope to see you at the taproom soon.
