Pitch

About the Campaign

Birmingham Brewing Company is raising £300k to scale an established drinks business built over 10 years.

The Brewery produces gluten free, vegan and alcohol free beers with a socially responsible attitude for modern consumers.

With strong traction both on and off trade, the business is agile and poised to grow into the fastest growing segments in the drinks market.

Market Opportunity

The traditional beer market is flat, but demand for alcohol-free, gluten-free and lifestyle-led drinks continues to grow rapidly.

Consumers increasingly want inclusive, premium products without compromising on quality, while retailers and hospitality groups are expanding shelf space for these categories. Birmingham Brewing Company already operates successfully across these growing niches, combining proven products, production capability and national distribution with opportunities in supermarket retail, export, AF beer and adult drinks.

Traction & Key Accomplishments

- 10 years trading
- Revenue of approximately £935k in FY25
- 11% year-on-year growth.
- Alcohol-free sales grew 50%
- Online sales grew 30%

We supply national customers including Mitchells & Butlers and Avanti, operate a SALSA-accredited brewery, and have won 20+ industry awards.

All whilst operating with a socially responsible attitude; 100% renewable energy, spent grain to local farmers, and apprenticeship opportunities.

We are also in final-stage discussions around national supermarket listings planned for 2026. It is truly an exciting time at Brum Brewery.

Use of Funds

Funds raised will accelerate growth across production, product development and route-to-market expansion. Approximately:

- 40% will be invested into brewery capacity, operational upgrades and new direct to consumer venues
- 25% into new product development including our new alcohol free beer brand and RTD drinks
-25% into working capital and scaling retail demand
-10% into marketing, listing fees, export development and digital growth

This raise is designed to scale proven momentum rather than fund an untested concept.

Key Information

Share Classes

The company has two share classes, A Ordinary and B Ordinary.

All investors in this round are receiving B Ordinary shares.

Voting: Both A Ordinary and B Ordinary shareholders are entitled to receive notice of, attend, speak, and vote at all general meetings.

Dividends: Each class may receive dividends declared specifically for that class, and both classes participate pro rata (by number of shares held) in any dividends declared on Ordinary Shares generally. The Company may declare different dividends for different classes, including paying a dividend on one class to the exclusion of another (by directors’ determination and shareholder ordinary resolution).

Return of capital / winding up: A Ordinary and B Ordinary shares rank pari passu for any distribution of capital (including on winding up or reduction of capital), in proportion to shares held.

Outstanding Debt

The company has the following debts:

1. A director's loan of £90,000 with 0% interest. This loan will only be repaid once the company is in a position to do so.

2. A hire purchase loan of £19,407.53 with 9.76% interest. The loan matures in July 2026.

3. A loan of £8,243.00 with 17.24% interest. This loan is repaid in monthly instalments of £749.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks.

This campaign for Birmingham Brewing Company has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 27 May 2026 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

This business is eligible for SEIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 50% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Tax Relief (EIS)

This business is eligible for EIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 30% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £2,200,790

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Republic Europe.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Republic Europe campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Republic Europe will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Republic Europe will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Republic Europe will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Find out more

Direct investment

If available, this is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Republic Europe. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
