Black Hops completes crowd funding in just six days

Purveyors of craft beer have latched onto Gold Coast-based craft beer brand Black Hops since it launched in 2014.

And whilst they certainly make fantastic beer, the company's founders say they have attracted the public's attention and crowd funding support by becoming the 'least covert operation in brewing'.

From day one, the boys behind Black Hops, Dan Norris, Eddie Oldfield, and Michael McGovern, have documented every step of their journey.

It makes sense then that the trio have become the first company in Australia to fully subscribe their equity crowd funding raise, backed by passionate supporters of the company.

Black Hops' crowd-sourced funding ('CSF') was fully subscribed on Thursday night, reaching its maximum of $400,000 in just six days; blowing expectations out of the water.

"We are obviously thrilled to have fully subscribed the offer, but to do it within six days is just crazy," says co-founder Dan Norris.

It's been an exciting journey for the loveable trio. In 2013 the three had an idea for an eggnog stout. They came up with a witty name for it, designed a logo, and brought their supporters along for the ride. Read more
