Community Partnerships Cheboygan Brewing has a track record of local collaboration, evidenced by the August 2021 land trust partnership and Hike and Hops events to support regional trails. This presents an opportunity to propose joint marketing, sponsorships, and taproom collaborations with outdoor/land conservation groups, outdoor retailers, and local tourism boards.

Regional Tourism Tie Position the brewery as a tastemaker for Northern Michigan experiences, leveraging its nature-inspired branding. Sales opportunities exist with regional lodging, tour operators, and recreational outfitters looking to offer beer tastings, branded experiences, or co-branded merchandise for visitors seeking an authentic local flavor.

Small Team Agility With a lean staff (2–10 employees), the company may benefit from streamlined B2B partnerships, white-label or co-branded product lines, and turnkey promotional programs that require minimal execution effort on their side. This suggests scalable channel partner programs and distributor deals to extend reach.

Growth potential Revenue is in the small to mid single-digit million range, indicating room for expansion through regional distributors, seasonal product launches, and limited-edition releases. Opportunities exist to upsell packaging improvements, shelf-ready solutions, and collaborative brews with larger regional brewers.

Tech & Ops Fit Existing tech stack includes AWS, Google Cloud, and eCommerce platforms, which can support data-driven wholesale outreach, loyalty programs, and e-commerce expansion. Propose digital marketing partnerships, analytics-driven sales cadences, and streamlined onboarding for new distribution partners.
