Kegs for a Cause & LiveSwell Brewing — Beer for good.
Built for community.
Two related concepts at the intersection of craft beer culture, community building, and values-driven entrepreneurship — a recurring charitable event series, and a low-ABV brewery vision that moves forward with the right partners.
The Concepts
One ready to launch. One built with partners. Both rooted in community.
Concept A · Near-term
Kegs for a Cause
A recurring charitable event series. Partner with a rotating brewery, host a ticketed event, donate proceeds to a rotating nonprofit.
Capital $3–10K · Time to launch 3–4 mo · Year-1 impact $10K+.

LiveSwell Brewing
A sustainability-focused craft brewery built around low-ABV session beers (1–4% ABV) — reachable as a brand years before a taproom.
Private-label entry $15–40K / 3–6 mo · Full brewery $50–500K / 12–36 mo · Taproom decision window 2028–31.

Three real wins, before any handshake.
Breweries
Foot traffic on a slow night
A booked-out room, a built-in audience from the nonprofit's list, cross-promotion to their donors and ours, and a content moment (photo, video, story) you can run with for weeks. You hold the license and pour. We bring the rest.
Nonprofits
A check, not a logo placement
Material funding from a single night — designed to move a real program forward, not to pad an event sponsor deck. Plus a new warm audience of craft beer drinkers who care about cause and place.
Investors & advisors
Derisked, gated, transparent
A written go/no-go framework, capped initial tranches, and a founder who would rather kill a concept than ship a bad one. Read the full study — every number, every assumption, every gate is on the page.
Mission & Vision
Doing good and having a great time are the same thing.
Mission
To build community around craft beer by connecting people to local nonprofits, celebrating independent breweries, and proving that doing good and having a great time are the same thing.
Vision
A recognizable, trusted event brand across California's craft beer markets — and eventually, a permanent home for that community through LiveSwell Brewing's taproom.
