completing a public offering of shares of its Common Stock, 2)building and 
equipping its brewery, 3)developing and beginning production of six distinct

Income Taxes

No benefit for income taxes was recognized for the periods ended March 31, 1996 
and 1995 in the accompanying statement of operations as there can be no 
assurance that the Company will generate taxable income in the future against 
which such benefits could be realized.  Accumulated net operating loss 
carryforwards at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were $1,020,000 and 
$785,000, respectively.

Shareholders' Equity

The Company has commenced a second public offering of common stock.  The 
Company has registered an offering with the SEC in an effort to sell an 
additional 1,053,000 shares of its Common Stock at an offering price of 
$1.85 per share.

Related Party Transactions

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company purchased management 
and administrative services from WVI at a total cost of $8,175.  WVI contracts 
for certain of these services under a general services agreement between WVI 
and Nor'Wester Brewing Company, Inc. ("Nor'Wester"), an affiliated company.  
The Company also purchased stock transfer services from Willamette Valley 
Vineyards, Inc. ("WVV"), an affiliated company, for $2,649 for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996.  In conjunction with the Company's proposed stock 
offering, the Company has been charged an aggregate of $5,550 by WVI,
Nor'Wester and WVV for stock offering services.

In April 1996, the Company commenced cooperative brewing of Nor'Wester beer 
under the Cooperative Brewing Agreement.  Sales to Nor'Wester under this 
agreement totaled $172,944 through May 31, 1996. In April, Nor'Wester 
purchased $25,000 of 1/2 barrel kegs to be used for production of Nor'Wester 
beer.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding.  Shares owned by the Company's parent, WVI, and held 
in escrow are included in the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding.

                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

The Company began brewing beer in August 1995 and beer sales commenced in 
September 1995.  Net revenues from beer and retail products totaled $100,207 
for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Revenues for the comparable 
period in 1995 totaling $3,353 were limited to the sale of retail merchandise 
such as T-shirts and hats as the brewery had not yet commenced operations.  
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1996 was 173.3% reflecting the disproportionate cost of production
for goods sold during a period when the facility is operating at less than 
its maximum designed capacity, as well as development-stage production costs 
such as recipe testing.  Cost of goods sold for the comparable period in the 
prior year was 25.8% reflecting the cost of the retail merchandise sold 
during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 
31, 1996 totaled $160,070, an increase of $118,471 over the comparable period
in 1995.  This is primarily due to the additional management and administrative 
support required when the Company commenced operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents decreased 
$367,220 primarily due to operating losses of $234,307.  Other uses of funds 
include an increase in accounts receivable of $9,717, an increase in 
inventories of $63,837, an increase in deferred stock offering costs of 
$19,284, an increase in property and equipment of $435,195, principal debt 
payments of $13,013, an increase in other non-current assets of $22,338 and a
decrease in accounts payable of $21,339.  Primary sources of funds include a 
decrease in other current assets of $26,037, capital lease proceeds of 
$345,690 and an increase in amounts payable to affiliated companies of 
$33,407.  

Management believes that the Company's current working capital, together with 
income from operations will satisfy its cash requirements through September 
30, 1996.  Thereafter, the Company will be dependent upon proceeds from debt
or equity financing as cash flows from operations are not expected to be 
sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital needs for the next twelve 
months.

The Company has commenced a second public offering of its common stock.  
The Company has registered an offering with the SEC in an effort to sell up 
to 1,053,000 shares of its Common Stock at a proposed offering price of 
$1.85 per share.  This offering, if successfully completed, will generate net 
proceeds of approximately $458,000 at a minimum or $1.7 million at a maximum, 
which will provide the Company with sufficient funds for the equipment and

working capital required to expand production to 39,000 barrels per year, to 
repay WVI the first $400,000 of its loan to the Company and to sustain 
operations for at least the next twelve months.  If, for any reason, the 
Company is unable to finance future expansion and working capital requirements 
through its second self-underwritten public offering of common stock, 
alternative methods of financing would have to be developed.  No assurance 
can be given that the offering will be successful or that alternative methods 
of financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.  
Having to develop alternative means of financing would likely slow expansion 
and such alternative financing may be more costly.  The Company's inability 
to obtain additional capital would result in a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business and results of operations.
