One other item to note is that some states have laws / regulations governing companies such as alcohol-producing companies, tobacco companies, etc., in terms of restrictions as to advertising directed towards youth or support / sponsorship of youth organizations.
The brewery is probably actually more aware of these laws / regulations than you are, but it would be a good thing to remind them of. You don't want to be in a situation where you encourage / ask a prospective sponsor to break a low in order to support your team.
These laws vary from state to state, so take the guidance you receive here with a grain of salt, as most of the rest of us aren't in your state.
