JUBECK NEW WORLD BREWING COMPANY

JUBECK NEW WORLD BREWING COMPANY. Located at 115 W. 11th, Jubeck New World Brewing Company opened in the fall of 2014. The company was funded by a mult-tiered membership program modeled on community-supported agriculture (CSA).

In a CSA operation, farmers and community members worked together to create a local food system. Customers paid in advance for for farm products thereby assuming some of the production risks. Tree of Life CSA and Small Family CSA Farm aided Jay Jubeck in create his own membership program.

Using the online fundraising site Kickstarter, the company raised an estimated $37,000. This was used to renovate the building's interior with $10,000 being used for the purchase of brewing equipment. Donors' investments earned rewards. A "full membership" of $600 included a free "growler," a two liter bottle of beer per week; $350 earned two free growlers per month while $200 gave members four free pints per month. In effect, the donors were paying for their beer before it was produced. About one hundred donors joined at one of the levels.

In October 2014 the brewery was open on Thursday and Friday from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Before the end of the year, Saturdays were to be added. (1)

Marking substantial growth in its operation, owner Jay Jubeck signed a lease in October, 2021 to expand the current business size to an adjoining space within the same building. The new space formerly housing The Wolfhound and previously the ARAGON TAP will more than double the size of the business. The additional space would allow the brewery to host a wider range of events, add more seating, and eventually shift from a two-barrel brewing system to a four-barrel operation. With the belief of the business should be a space that encouraged community and conversation, the company continued its policy of not installing wide-screen televisions. (2)
