What is a Cooperative Brewery?
Cooperatives are democratically owned and operated by their members. Cooperative breweries exist to benefit their member-owners in ways far beyond a standard mug club. Ronan Cooperative Brewery brings together the strong craft beer movement to help in the revitalization of our community.
Why become an Owner?
A $250 investment buys your ownership share of the Ronan Cooperative Brewery (called “common stock”). This is not an annual fee—your membership makes you a part owner in our brewery. We hold events to bring members together, sample our brews, and create a welcome environment for all. We believe that a strong community is built around engaged businesses that give back to their community. Ronan’s community-minded local businesses are an example of this, and we believe our cooperative is achieving this purpose. If you ever wanted to be a part of a startup business or get on the inside track of a brewery in development, now is your chance.
Your $250 is an investment in the next chapter of Main Street Ronan. By investing in the co-op, you are supporting and sustaining:
-
The first cooperative brewery in Montana
-
The first brewery in Ronan, MT
-
Truly local beer
