MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN – After twelve years in business and 9 years in the Walker’s Point neighborhood of Milwaukee, MobCraft Beer is selling its brewery, taproom and Intellectual Property. All the details aren’t known at this point, but as more comes to light they will be shared!  “It’s been a wild ride these past 12 years,” said MobCraft CEO Henry Schwartz, “We’ve poured our heart and souls into the brewery and our community, but reached a point where we could no longer operate as a stand-alone organization. When the opportunity came up to sell the brewery, we decided to consider it to keep our brand around at wholesale, and keep as many of our staff members as possible employed in our taprooms. We’re in the midst of working on the deal now, and there will be changes but they are not fully known yet. The MobCraft you know and love today won’t exist in its entirety after this process, but some aspects will, and between now and our last day of official “MobCraft” Operations we aim to celebrate our existence and all we’ve achieved, over a few pints.” 

 MobCraft Beer is an innovator in the craft beer space as the “world’s first crowdsourced brewery” where the public could submit beer ideas and vote on what would be brewed next. The crowdsourced beers were just a portion of the brewery’s portfolio that also included popular flagship, seasonal, and limited-release beers and offerings from their extensive Wild & Sour beer program.
