                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion 
of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of 
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results 
for the interim periods presented. The financial statements included herein 
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that 
the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information 
presented not misleading.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by 
the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's 
financial statements filed as part of  the Company's Annual Report on Form 
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.  This quarterly report 
should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997, or any portion thereof.

2.    Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" 
("SFAS 128") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, 
Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which are 
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.  The Company 
believes the implementation of these statements will not have a material 
effect on its results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), which establishes 
requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income.  SFAS 130 is effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Reclassification  of 
earlier financial statements for comprehensive purposes is required.  The 
Company believes the implementation of this Statement will not have a 
material effect on its results of operations or financial disclosures.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                       
THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

  Shipments for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 totaled 13,450 
barrels a decrease of 27% compared to 18,502 barrels for the same period in 
1996.  Shipments for nine months ended September 30, 1997 were 43,186 
barrels, a decrease of 19% from 53,128 barrels for the same period in 1996. 
The decrease in shipments is primarily due to continued competitive pressure 
caused by product proliferation, particularly in the California region, the 
most saturated market.  Gross sales in the third quarter of 1997 were 
$2,684,067, a decrease of 26% compared to $3,650,047 for the same period of 
1996.  Gross sales declined 14% for the first nine months of 1997 to 
$8,756,469 from $10,131,294 for the first nine months of 1996.  Gross sales 
declined at a lesser rate than barrels shipped due to increased sales in 1997 
compared to 1996 in the Company's two restaurants.

  Gross profit decreased 31% to $834,953 (33% of net sales) in the third 
quarter of 1997 from $1,213,243 (35% of net sales) for the same period in 
1996.  For the nine months ended September 30,1997 gross profit decreased to 
$2,600,928 (31% of net sales) from $3,353,966 (35% of net sales) for the same 
period in 1996. The decrease in gross profit was a result of lower fixed 
overhead cost recovery due to lower production volumes compared to total 
capacity.  Restaurant sales, as a percentage of net sales, were greater in 
the third quarter and first nine months of 1997compared to the same periods 
in 1996, and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is higher for the 
Company's restaurant operations than its brewery operations.

  General and administrative expenses decreased 28% to $343,400 (13% of net 
sales) in the third quarter of 1997 from $477,413 (14% of net sales) for the 
same period in 1996.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 general 
and administrative costs decreased 21% to $1,088,114 (13% of net sales) from 
$1,374,627 (14% of net sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
The decrease is due to the effect of downsizing, attrition and cost 
containment programs which began in late 1996.

  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 10% to $676,403 (26% of net sales) 
in the third quarter of 1997 from $749,575 (22% of net sales) for the same 
period in 1996.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 1% for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 to 1,857,532 (22% of net sales) from 
1,875,282 (20% of net sales).  The decrease is due to the decline in sales 
offset by the general tactical sales and marketing expenses attributable to 
maintaining sales in a highly competitive market.

  Interest expense in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1997 increased to $76,029 and $217,691 respectively compared to $40,274 and 
$59,136 for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The 
increase is a result of increased debt outstanding in 1997 and capitalization 
of interest related to new equipment installed in 1996.

  Due to accumulated losses and the adverse market conditions in the current 
craft brewing market, the Company recorded a tax asset valuation allowance 
against the accumulated deferred tax benefits recorded in 1996.  As a result 
a tax provision of $76,332 was recorded in the third quarter of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company requires capital principally to fund its working capital needs. 
The Company has met its capital requirements through cash flow from 
operations, bank borrowings and the private and public sale of its Common 
Stock.

  The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank. At 
September 30, 1997, $460,000 was outstanding and bearing interest at the 
bank's reference rate (9.00% at September 30, 1997). The Company had a 
$2,000,000 non-revolving equipment line of credit with a bank, which 
converted to a term loan in June 1997.  The amount outstanding under the term 
loan of $1,907,177, bears interest at a LIBOR rate (8.12% at September 30, 
1997). The Company also has another term loan outstanding with a bank. At 
September 30, 1997, $1,085,693 was outstanding under this term loan. The term 
loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.55% for $456,720 of the loan with 
the remaining $628,973 bearing interest at the bank's reference rate plus 
1/2% (9.00% at September 30, 1997). In April 1997 the total credit facility 
with the company's bank was renewed through April 1998.

  The line of credit agreement and term loans contain restrictions relating 
to specified ratios and restrictions on dividend payments, as well as the 
lender's standard covenants and restrictions.  At September 30, 1997, the 
Company was in compliance with all such covenants and restrictions with the 
exception of the operating income covenant, the current ratio covenant and 
the cash flow covenant. The Company has received a waiver from the bank for 
violations through September 30, 1997.  In November 1997 the loan covenants 
were changed to meet the Company's current financial requirements.  The new
covenants, measured on a monthly basis, require a minimum tangible net worth 
of $5,000,000; a current ratio of .70 to 1.00 through December 31, 1997 and .60
to 1:00 thereafter; liabilities to tangible net worth of equal to or less than
1.0 to 1.0; and, various monthly reporting requirements typical of such a 
credit facility.

  The entire credit facility is due for its annual review and renewal on April 
30, 1998.  The Company expects to renegotiate the facility, but at this time
the terms of such renegotiation have not been established.

  The Company's working capital requirements over the next year are expected 
to be met from cash flow from operations, funds available under the Company's
line of credit facilities and, if appropriate and available, additional equity
offerings and borrowings from other credit facilities.
