Gizmo Brew Works

Gizmo Brew Works is an independent craft brewery headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with operations and taprooms spanning Raleigh and Durham. Founded with a focus on community-driven beverage innovation, the brewery produces a core lineup of approachable, consistently crafted beers designed for broad consumer appeal. Its flagship offerings include City of Oaks Lager (5.2% ABV), Beekeeper Honey Wheat (5.5% ABV), Carolina Pine West Coast IPA (7.1% ABV), and Hazetopia Hazy IPA (6.2% ABV), representing a range of styles from classic lagers to modern hazy and hop-forward ales.

Beyond traditional beer production, Gizmo Brew Works has expanded into the emerging THC-infused beverage category under separate brand identities. Its Hop Trip line features THC-infused hop water combining 10mg Delta-9 THC and 10mg CBD for a lightly hopped, sessionable alternative. Its Delta Quench brand offers zero-sugar THC seltzers available in multiple potency levels and fruit flavor profiles. These extensions reflect the company's stated commitment to beverage innovation beyond conventional craft beer.

Gizmo operates two consumer-facing taprooms: the original Raleigh taproom, which features a beer garden, live music programming, and food truck partnerships; and a Durham taproom focused on neighborhood community events, with a partnership with Dino's Pizza. The company manages its own self-distribution network across North Carolina, maintaining an internal delivery fleet to service accounts and keep product cold and consistent through dedicated cold storage infrastructure.

The brewery operates under a self-distribution model and actively pursues partnerships with other brands and businesses. Gizmo is currently pursuing community-backed investment through Honeycomb Credit to fund cold storage expansion, taproom upgrades, marketing growth, and delivery fleet support. This approach to growth reflects its identity as an independently owned, community-rooted operation within the North Carolina craft beverage market.
