LAKEPORT, Calif. – The city of Lakeport announced Monday that it has made a Community Development Block Grant Business Loan Program loan available to O’Meara Bros. Brewing Co. for the expansion of brewing and kitchen operations.
The new loan will help the business create two new jobs and expand its brewing capacity and increase sales.
O’Meara Bros. has exceeded the projections and expectations of the company.
Owners Alex and Tim O'Meara are thrilled to have the support of the city of Lakeport, which is committed to helping local business grow and thrive, and it shows in the case of O’Meara Bros. Brewing Co.
Due to increased volume and demand which has exceeded all projections and expectations, the O'Mearas will use additional funds to expand both beer production and upgrade kitchen facilities, both of which will accommodate their increased volume and help them better serve the community.
Furthermore, the larger capacity will allow for the O’Mearas to move toward an eventual goal of beer distribution to our local bars and restaurants.
O’Meara Bros. Brewing Co. believes that community development funds like these are key for the healthy growth of the local economy.
