Introducing the New Helvetia Brewery Cooperative

New Helvetia Brewing Co. has always focused on community and quality beer. Facing significant challenges in the craft beer and hospitality industries, we've decided to evolve into an employee- and community-owned cooperative.

​

Why a Cooperative?

Becoming a cooperative means community members like you can directly own and invest in your neighborhood brewery. It spreads financial risk among many, ensuring New Helvetia remains a vibrant local presence.

​

How It Works

Reserve your membership by completing the form below. Once established, you'll pay a one-time $300 fee for your official membership share, or choose our convenient monthly option of $25/month for one year. Each member has one vote, electing directors who oversee legal compliance, finances, and operations. Daily operations are managed by worker-owners.

​

Member Perks

Members will likely enjoy:

• Discounts on pints, food, and merchandise.

• Exclusive beer releases!

• Priority access to special events, tastings, and educational sessions.

• Opportunities to serve on the Board and influence community involvement.

• ​

​​

Cooperative vs. Membership Clubs

Unlike typical brewery memberships, cooperative members are actual owners, voting on significant decisions, electing leaders, and shaping policies. This model ensures community-driven success.

Join us in creating a thriving, community-owned New Helvetia Brewery!

​

How to Join

You must be 21+ and a California resident. Select your payment preference (one-time $300 or $25/month for 12 months), and you'll officially become a cooperative member-owner.
