                          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, 1997. This quarterly report should be
read in conjunction with such Annual Report.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998, 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

     Certain statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and entail various
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include general business and economic conditions, competitive
products and pricing, fluctuations in demand and availability of financing.
These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to sections under
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding the Company's ability to meet its
cash requirements and under "Overview of Expectations for 1998".

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 COMPARISON

         Net sales in the first quarter of 1998 decreased 19% to $2,244,400 from
$2,782,351 for the same period in 1997. Gross profit decreased 37% to $461,804
(21.5% of net sales) in the first quarter of 1998 from $732,977 (28% of net
sales) for the same period in 1997. The decrease in gross profit was a result of
low production volumes in January and February. Shipments for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 were 10,966 barrels, a decrease of 21% from 13,891 barrels
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The shortfall in shipments was
primarily due to a sharp decline industry-wide in sales for the month of January
and the Company's change in California distribution. The shortfall in January
represented 60% of the decline for the quarter.

         General and administrative expenses decreased 12% to $309,378 (14% of
net sales) in the first quarter of 1998 from $351,777 (13% of net sales) for the
same period in 1997. The decrease is due to the continued effect of cost
containment programs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 9% to $496,117 (23%
of net sales) in the first quarter of 1998 from $542,762 (20% of net sales) for
the same period in 1997. The decrease resulted from lower selling expenses
related to shipments, personnel changes and payroll reductions.

         Interest expense increased to $83,765 in the first quarter of 1998 from
$63,936 for the same quarter in 1997. The increase is a result of increased debt
outstanding for the quarter, compared to 1997. Other expenses included $150,510
for the transfer of distribution rights and related inventory costs resulting
from the Company's consolidation of its California distribution.

         The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $582,307,
depreciation and amortization totaled $304,911 and capital expenditures totaled
$54,052. This compares to a net loss of $228,911, depreciation and amortization
of $303,866 and capital expenditures of $144,693 for the quarter ended March 31,
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, borrowings from certain stockholders, and the
private and public sale of its Common Stock.

         The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank which
was capped at $600,000 through March 31 1998. At March 31, 1998, $450,000 was
outstanding at the bank's reference rate plus 1.5% (10% at March 31, 1998). The
Company also has term loans outstanding with the bank. At March 31, 1998,
$2,895,446 was outstanding under these term loans. The term loans bear interest
at a fixed rate of 7.55% for $435,311 of the loan with the remaining $2,460,135
bearing interest at the bank's reference rate plus 1/2% (9.00% at March 31,
1998).

         The Company's operating line matured May 1, 1998. The bank has extended
the Company's credit facilities through June 1 1998. The Company is currently in
negotiations to renew or replace its credit facilities, although there can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful.

         Generally accepted accounting principles require that the Company's
term facilities, which are cross-collateralized and cross-default with the
operating line, be classified as a current liability pending the renewal or

                                       8
<PAGE>

replacement of the Company's credit facilities. At March 31, 1998, the Company
was in compliance with the bank's loan covenants.

         In December 1997, the Company borrowed a total of $400,000 from two of
its shareholders under 10% Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). Payment under the
notes are due in thirty-six equal monthly principal payments of $11,111
commencing July 1, 1999. Interest is payable monthly at 10% per annum,
commencing on February 1, 1998. Proceeds under the Notes were applied to
outstanding balance under the Company's line of credit. The Notes are secured by
a second security interest in the Company's accounts receivable and inventory.

         Two major shareholders of the Company have expressed their intention to
provide funding, as necessary, to sustain the Company's operations through
December 31, 1998. In management's opinion, the Company's current financial
resources, the funding intentions of the two major stockholders and a new credit
facility will meet its working capital needs through December 31, 1998. To the
extent that such sources are inadequate, the Company will be required to seek
additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will
be available to the Company on satisfactory terms.


OVERVIEW OF EXPECTATIONS FOR 1998

         The Company believes that first quarter results are not indicative of
the results for the remainder of 1998 for the following reasons:

          (i) The California distribution problem has been resolved and the
              distribution system has been strengthened;

         (ii) The Company's rapidly expanding contract brewing business is
              expected to utilize substantially all of its excess capacity; and

        (iii) The Company is experiencing increased authorizations and
              placements for its products, especially MacTarnahan's Amber Ale,
              its flagship brand in its primary west coast markets.

         Although the Company is cautiously optimistic about the remainder of
1998, there is no assurance that the company can meet such expectations.
