Assessment

Charlie Mulligan claimed on June 5, 2016, that Brewpublik would be operating in at least 10 markets by the end of 2016. Reporting from Business North Carolina in August 2016 and Hypepotamus in November 2016 confirmed the company operated in only four markets (Charlotte, Raleigh, San Francisco, and Charleston). Company records, website documentation from early 2017, and statements by investor Amish Shah in February 2017 confirm that Brewpublik remained active in only those four markets entering 2017 without having launched in planned expansion cities like New York, falling well short of the 10-market stated target.

Business North Carolina (August 29, 2016) and Hypepotamus (November 17, 2016) reported Brewpublik was active in only four markets: Charlotte, Raleigh, San Francisco, and Charleston.
Brewpublik's 2017 website documentation and FAQ pages listed active operations in only four markets.
Investor Amish Shah of SierraMaya360 confirmed on February 2, 2017, that expansion into target markets such as New York City was still pending for 2017.

Insight

Craft beer demand is proportional across markets, but local options vary

“Our premise is that there is within a range kind of the same proportional amount of craft beer drinkers in every market, and, but they, in LA, they're starved for options.”
