(Hillsborough, NC) – Mystery Brewing Co. won $50,000 on an Apprentice/Shark Tank-style new reality show on CNBC called Crowd Rules that happens to air on. One of the video clips shows Mystery at 49% and the runner-up business at 48%. Whatever that means, it was apparently very close.
The episode originally aired on Tuesday but will re-air on Friday night at 10pm EST, according to the channel’s posted schedule. The full episode is unavailable online, only a couple clips embedded here.
Here is some literature on the episode from CNBC.com.
It takes money to make money. Three companies compete for a cash prize to help pay off the massive debt they’ve acquired in starting their businesses. The episode features: Mystery Brewing, a beer brewery that’s a few kegs short of staying afloat; Sky Fitness, a small town gym trying to beef up their clientele; and DirtyGirl Disposal, a female owned and operated waste removal company trying to keep abreast of a predominately male industry. As they learn about each company, the crowd will vote to award one business the $50,000 they need to go from problems to profits. Guest Business Expert: Larry Winget.
Mystery Brewing Company believes there is a beer for every season. The company is a small craft brewery that makes small-batch, seasonal-only, artisanal ales and lagers. It was founded by Erik Myers, who has a love for brewing beer. The company takes pride in not having a flagship beer. They believe what people want to drink changes with the seasons and as a result they have chosen to create seasonal selections they say are always fresh.
