Short Summary
At Metazoa Brewing Co, balance is our guiding philosophy. A craft brewery in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, we create a wide range of true-to-style traditional ales and quirky experimental styles - always easy drinking, but big on flavor. Since day one we've donated 5% of our profits to animal and wildlife organizations to give back to the planet that gives us beer.
With the motto “Drink Beer. Help Animals,” Metazoa Brewing Co. cares deeply about producing delicious craft brews and supporting animals, both in our taproom and through contributions to animal and wildlife charities across the United States.
Throughout our first two years of business in Indianapolis, we have been lucky enough to foster a community of like-minded people with a passion for craft beer, supporting local businesses, and a deep love for man’s best man.
Our current dog park commands a desperate facelift and we need your help to turn the grounds into a dog park wonderland! We want to create a community space that excites our loyal dog-owning customers and attracts newbies alike. We hope to create a beautiful space where dog owners and beer drinkers can make memories with their doggos, enjoy delicious brews, and even make connections with other like-minded individuals in downtown Indianapolis.
What We Need & What You Get
To fund our dream project, with all the bells and whistles, the cost of the entire project will be in the range of $75,000. We plan to raise the funds for our project in three parts. We are looking to our supporters LIKE YOU to help us fund the first part ($30,000) of our dog park initiative. Through this crowd-funding campaign, Metazoa Brewing Co. will match every donation (dollar for dollar up to $30,000) from supporters like you, and we hope to find sponsors to help cover the remaining costs.
As a thank you for your generous donation, you will receive exciting perks that range from complimentary beer tokens to mug club memberships and brew bus tours. Each perk level includes complimentary Metazoa beer token(s)/voucher(s) which make great gifts or awesome ways to treat yo self this holiday season! There is bound to be a perk level that excites everyone from the beer novice to the home-brewing beer expert.
The Impact
In 2018, Metazoa Brewing Co. was voted the #1 Best Place to Hang Out With Your Dog in IndyStar’s annual “Best of Indy” contest. We know you love to bring your dog to our establishment, so now we need your help to take our dog park to the next level! With the support of animal and beer lovers like you, we have gone from a small startup business to an award-winning and recognizable brand across the entire state of Indiana in just over two years.
We hope the expansion of our dog park will continue to set us apart and give our supporters a special place to unwind, drink tasty brews, and spend quality time with their dogs.
Risks & Challenges
With the help of a team of professionals, we have put together a plan and mockup of our perfect dog park wonderland (see above photos) and we are ready to break ground once we begin securing funding. Our top priority is making the new dog park better equipped for all seasons and weather conditions by installing turf. To begin the process, the weather must be forty degrees or above, so the timeline of the project will depend on our upcoming Indiana winter season.
If we are not able to reach our $75,000 goal, we will most likely have to slim down the scope of the project. Installing new turf and pet play equipment is our top priority, so if we only raise $15,000-$20,000 we may have to stop there. The amount of additional play equipment, benches, water fountains, updated cornhole boards, outdoor drinking space, and decking will greatly depend on the funds we are able to secure.
Other Ways You Can Help
Spread the word! We are grateful for any support, even if it is just sharing the project with your family, friends, and coworkers. We want all (21+) Indianapolis dog owners to be able to enjoy the perks of our dog park wonderland.
