Since we last wrote, it’d an understatement to suggest that only a lot has happened. It’s been 3 years since we added a new story here, lol, so while our startup storytelling has been ultra light, our remarkable founders continue building on all fronts. As we curate the story of FliteBrite, Sinclair has also fired up a cool community initiative (Frontier Coworking). McDougal hosts a 100+ episode podcast, keeps making a ruckus within his wild museum, and now has a second book—Brewed From Within: Energy for the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle—on bookshelves nationwide. Davidson still builds ideas into reality through manufacturing and the co-founding team remains disciplined in always having fun.
FliteBrite is now a 12+ year old quest. Can you believe that?! After the pandemic put tasting rooms and beer festivals on ice, we’ve spent the past few years wrinkling back out around North America. Our beer festival app remains fresh and activate in cool places like Iowa, Maine, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Minnesota, Washington, and we’re back in California this weekend!
To peek under our hood, the California Brewers Festival is a cool example of how our partnerships can thrive. The FliteBrite brewfest app is back on tap this Saturday, so let’s use this hoppy client story to support this friendly company update. Ok, so we’ve enjoyed collaborating with the California Brewers Festival since 2023. Each year, they bring their Brewfest together and we curate a digital companion for their long-standing beer festival in Sacramento, California. Our simple system makes everything a breeze, so now we just have fun going with green lights, catching up as friends, activating the efficient tech stack, and making it easy to showcase the tasty art that everyone will be pouring at their annual brewfest. Their craft beer community, likes so many fantastic events, unites 50-75 breweries for a good causes and in this case, they have done so the past 30 years! Wanna see our brewfest app in action? Poke around http://FliteBrite.com/CalBrewfest to taste the #CalBrewfest app and as you can imagine, over time, the real-time attendee data reveals cool insights for endless storytelling.
We’ve crafted a cold tool for smart event organizers and brewers sharing their delicious creations within a community that cares. If you’re hosting beer festivals and want a cool twist to save time, we are open for growth and always enjoy meeting a new friend—let’s chat.
Along with a handful of events nationwide, our electronic serving system remains in the wings and will never stop refilling wonder. We build sophisticated with long-term IP strategies and healthy cash flow. We’re three friends with complimenting superpowers and a clean cap table. We get to build first in line, the front & center of craft beer, but also wine, cheese, and all that is fine dining. As we often joke, our customer discovery has sure been tasty. Cheers to all who have been a part of this long-term quest! Let’s keep playing to see what happens next.
