Appalachian Mountain Brewery has conducted a review of its financial statements and met on-site with an SEC qualified audit firm in preparation to file a registration statement with SEC. Appalachian Mountain Brewery taking the regulatory steps necessary to become a fully-reporting publicly traded company is a natural step to gain credibility and access to larger funding for growth as well as speed up the process to be quoted on a senior stock exchange.
