Delivery Timeline – Batch 1

The wait is almost over! The first Exobrew units have landed in the USA. This is a defining moment, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. Orders EXO-1002 to EXO-1016 are now confirmed and allocated, and we are finalizing payments for the remaining units.

For those who ordered extra kegs, these will ship with Batch 2 in Q2 2025. We are also preparing brew kit recipes and starter essentials (cleaning materials, COâ‚‚ cartridges, etc.) and will contact you soon to confirm what you need.

Production Timeline – Batch 2

The first batch has been fully tested, and we’ll be gathering direct user feedback starting in March. Based on extensive testing in Las Vegas, Miami, and China (110V environments), we don’t anticipate any significant issues.

Meanwhile, we’ve already ordered materials for the next production batch, ensuring a seamless manufacturing process. Exobrew orders directly at the factory. This run will cover all remaining orders from EXO-1020 to EXO-1080, along with the last outstanding MiniBrew orders based in the USA.

🔹 Estimated shipping for Batch 2: End of Q2 2025
🔹 Next step: We’ll be reaching out for final payment confirmations

You'll receive further updates soon if your order is within this batch!

All outstanding orders have been updated, and payment links for orders EXO-1020 onward will be sent in the coming days. Please check your inbox to complete the process.

Future Exobrew

Exobrew is built on passion, innovation, and the belief that brewing should be accessible to everyone. This is a self-funded journey made possible by you—our community. Your support has turned an ambitious idea into a tangible reality, and we are deeply grateful.

The Evolution of MiniBrew’s Platform

Our partner, MiniBrew, is strategically shifting its revenue model. It is moving towards a pro-environment, subscription-based approach. Like Netflix, Disney+, Peloton, and Ring, this shift aims to make the platform sustainable without relying solely on hardware sales. 

We understand that not everyone loves paid subscriptions, and we hear you. We’re discussing grace periods for new users. However, a fee might be required. If needed, we are exploring an independent server solution via AWS, though this will take time to set up.

Scaling for the Future

To accelerate growth, we’re actively seeking strategic partners and angel investors who believe in our mission:
✅ To make Exobrew and MiniBrew the world’s largest beverage platform
✅ To create a direct connection between brewers and local farmers—supporting sustainable sourcing for malt, hops, and yeast

We’re just getting started, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Thank You for Being Part of This Journey!

This is just the beginning. More updates are coming soon, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Exobrew and our incredible community.

Stay tuned, stay excited, and most importantly—get ready to brew like never before! 🍻✨
