Revelation Craft Brewing Company

What Revelation Craft Brewing Company does

Revelation Craft Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery operating two brewpub locations in Delaware: a taproom in Rehoboth Beach (37251 Rehoboth Ave) and a taproom and production facility in Georgetown (413 South Bedford Street). The company, founded in 2016 and operating under the DBA "Revbeer," employs approximately 9 people and serves local residents and coastal visitors seeking on-premise craft beer experiences. Its core product lineup includes Mother-In-Law IPA (an American IPA brewed with Mosaic, Cascade, Chinook, Summit, and Mandarina Bavaria hops, including hops grown by the owner's mother-in-law), 1791 Pilsner (a Saaz-hopped American pilsner brewed with local malts and flaked corn to commemorate Georgetown's 1791 founding), and Grateful Nation Imperial IPA (a double dry-hopped imperial IPA). The company has earned over 25 awards from major competitions including Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, U.S. Open Beer Championship, Denver International Beer Competition, and Asia International Beer Competition (named U.S.A. Brewery of the Year in 2019).

The company makes money through four primary streams: (1) on-premise taproom beer and food sales at both locations, with full bar service and menu items; (2) private event hosting, primarily at the Georgetown location, accommodating 200+ guests for corporate events, birthdays, fundraisers, reunions, and private parties with customizable food and beverage packages; (3) wholesale distribution of canned and packaged beer through a distributor network surfaced via its Beer Finder tool; and (4) online merchandise sales through a Square-powered storefront. Online food ordering is enabled through a Menufy integration at both locations. Marketing relies on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Untappd), an email newsletter, and the company website as a content hub. The business is privately held, founder-owned, and headquartered in Delaware, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
