Item 5. Other Events
Aviator Ales, Inc. announced that it will cease operating
effective at the close of business on September 12, 1997.
Management cited that United Breweries of America (UBA) has
notified the Company that it will not proceed with the
planned investment in the consolidated businesses of Aviator
Ales, Inc., Nor'Wester Brewing Company, Inc., WVI -
Microbreweries across America, Mile High Brewing Company,
Inc. and Bayhawk Ales, Inc. UBA's notice indicated that
certain closing conditions had not been satisfied as the
reason for its decision not to invest.
Aviator Ales, Inc., a player in the troubled microbrewing
industry, has seen its financial performance decline over
the period since the proposed investment agreement was first
announced. Aviator's current financial condition precludes
it from meeting obligations necessary to continue as a going
concern.

Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly
authorized.
