               On June 1, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Order instituting proceedings alleging, among other things, that Mr. Power violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10(b)(5) promulgated thereunder by participating in a manipulation through his personal account of the public trading market for the common stock of Premier Concepts, Inc., from approximately June 1994 through December 1994. On November 15, 2005, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the matter for lack of evidence.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

            Mr. Power acquired all of the securities of the Company that he owns, for cash consideration of $0.25 per share, or, total cash consideration of $134,500.  The cash consideration was invested over an approximate twenty-four month period.     The funds were used by Golden West to fund in part our acquisition of Butte Creek Brewing Company, subsequent working capital needs and other general and administrative expenses of Golden West. 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

          The Company was formed and organized in December 2003, for the purpose of acquiring the business and assets of Butte Creek. Effective October 8, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Butte Creek to acquire those assets, subject to certain liabilities.

             Mr. Power is also a secured creditor of Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation ("GWBCA"). Between March and September, 2005, GWBCA borrowed a total of $125,000 from three lenders, $50,000 of which came from Power Curve, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Power. That loan accrues interest at the rate of 9% per annum, is due and payable in full in March 2008, and is secured by a first lien on all of the tangible and intangible assets of GWBCA.

             In December 2005, Mr. Power and Power Curve, Inc., a controlled company, converted $305,000 in outstanding advances into a junior secured, long-term note, bearing interest at the rate of 9% per annum and due December 31, 2008. That note is secured by a junior lien on the tangible and intangible assets of GWBCA.

              On February 14, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a registration statement on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-121351 covering the Company's self-underwritten public offering of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.

The securities represent 26.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, before giving effect to the possible sale of additional shares of common stock by the Company in its self-underwritten, public offering covered by the registration statement identified in this report. The foregoing is based upon 2,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
