Article is new enough, long enough, appropriately sourced, no copyvio concerns, and the hook is interesting (also, as a general point, nice to see some more crowdsourced breweries springing up). Have to AGF on one of the sources, as I got blasted with annoying adverts, preventing me from verifying it. Need a QPQ. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:41, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ritchie333: You would enjoy Mobcraft in Milwaukee, which crowdsources their beers! To your questions, I can email a source screenshot if needed, and I've added a QPQ. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 18:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - QPQ is done. Rest of the review as per Ritchie; ticking this on his behalf to keep things moving! 97198 (talk) 07:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio check

Earwig says good to go. But:

"involved the creation of a 60-page business plan" is a bit word for word – recommend something like "involved the creation of a business plan 60 pages long" instead.

Prose

The lead could probably be expanded by a few sentence.
"coffee shop and brewery was kindled" – wikilink brewery.
"at the intersection of coffee, beer, and community." – "coffee, beer, and community" should have quotation marks.
"dove into the intricacies" – sounds slightly on the informal side. Is a better word choice available? Otherwise, apologies if this is standard in American English though, which I do not speak.
"been brewing beer at home for years" – recommend "been homebrewing for years prior" and wikilink homebrewing.
"took a job at a nearby taproom." – wikilink taproom.
"They were also boosted" – informal, rephrase. Also;
Could the Kickstarter campaign be expanded upon? It sounds quite noteworthy. Do the sources say when/who started the campaign, how many backers it had, their goal, etc?
I think "1%" should be changed to "one percent" for formality.
Unabbreviate both mentions of North Ave.
"espresso-based drinks plus tea sourced" – change to "espresso-based drinks as well as tea sourced"

Refs

All sources are RS or used appropriately. Passes spotcheck—no concerns with refs 1, 4, 6, 7 or 10.

Other

Short description, See also, coords, navs and cats good.

Do we have any free images of the brewery available? Also, what about the logo?
Recommend adding template:Use X English.
Recommend adding template:Use mdy dates.

Hello again LunaEatsTuna! As before, I've implemented all the requested changes with specific exceptions/comments below.

Unfortunately, none of the sources that I've seen or remember seeing go into detail about the Kickstarter. I would instead link to it directly as a primary source... but kickstarter.com is on either our blacklist or the Wikimedia global one.

Oh well, not a problem.

I've been meaning to walk down and get a free photo of the brewery, which is located near my residence, but haven't had the chance to yet. An attempt to get a high-quality photo directly from them was successful up until the point I had to explain the intricacies of free licensing and why I needed specially emailed permissions. They stopped replying after that. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 01:44, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, strange how some folks get really confused about this sorta stuff!
