We're coming into our last week of this FrontFundr campaign—three months has flown by quickly! In this time, we have launched in two new US states, introduced a new flavour, and seen huge growth in markets that we opened in the spring. We have also had a chance to meet and speak with many of our long-time supporters and community members in our hometown of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.

Our local Chamber of Commerce hosted a Member Appreciation event at our distillery at the end of August, which is the first time we've opened our old taproom since the pandemic shutdowns in March 2020. It went so well that we decided to host a Distillery Day the following week, which was incredible! And Edmonton Global, our regional economic development organization, invited me to speak on a panel to share my export journey and how and why we are growing the way we are.

Spending time with old and new supporters of The Fort Distillery reminded us that above all else, we are proud to represent our community in the world—we're creating jobs for people in our city, sharing ingredients that are grown and cultivated here. And now, we're also inviting people here to become co-owners of our distillery through this campaign.

If you haven't had a chance, I'd encourage you to listen to this podcast episode I recorded with the FrontFundr team. It shares our story, where we came from, and where we're headed, and why I think there is a huge opportunity in the Ready-To-Serve cocktail segment.

If you have any questions or want to talk further about the opportunity, don't hesitate to reach out. Our investment campaign closes on September 24th.

Thanks,

Nathan
