Business Pitch Episode Recap
The Brewer’s Cow team presented their beer-flavored ice cream, aiming to combine craft beer flavors with premium ice cream. However, the pitch was marred by confusion over pricing and sales numbers. When Mark Cuban asked about the price per pint, the partners gave conflicting answers, which frustrated Barbara Corcoran and led her to exit the pitch early.
Robert Herjavec expressed concern that the founders did not know their financials well enough, which caused him to leave. Mark Cuban felt the company would require too much capital and was unlikely to recoup his investment, so he also declined. Kevin O’Leary criticized the lack of sales and clarity, becoming the last shark to leave without making an offer.

Brewer’s Cow Shark Tank Update
Brewer’s Cow was a very young company at the time of their Shark Tank appearance, having made only about $5,000 in sales since launching a year prior. The exposure from the show brought some attention, but the business struggled with scaling and market fit. Both Mark Cuban and Daymond John were lactose intolerant, which limited their enthusiasm, although Cuban did enjoy the product.
Post-show, Brewer’s Cow has had limited activity, with no significant growth reported. The company’s website and social media presence have diminished, and it is unclear if the product remains available in the market.
What is Brewer’s Cow’s Net Worth?
Due to unclear financials and lack of investment offers, Brewer’s Cow’s company net worth or valuation was never firmly established on Shark Tank. The founders’ inability to clearly articulate sales and pricing metrics contributed to the sharks’ decision to pass.
