The New Hampshire Attorney General filing confirms the breach notice — not a court case. Dollar amounts and deadlines are shown only when a verifiable court filing supports them — nothing on this page estimates or guarantees a result.
Records filed with the New Hampshire AG show that Craft Beer Company GP confirmed exposure of the information below:
These categories are what make the exposure actionable. Sensitive data types carry greater legal weight.
Craft Beer Company GP operates within the craft beverage and hospitality sector, functioning not only as a producer and distributor of specialty beers and ales, but also as a complex commercial enterprise managing direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales, extensive club memberships, and wholesale distribution networks. Because modern craft breweries rely heavily on digital platforms for online merchandise sales, subscription-based mug clubs, event ticketing, and direct-to-door shipping, they routinely collect and store a vast repository of sensitive consumer information. Beyond customer data, the company maintains robust human resources operations, managing sensitive employment records, payroll details, and tax documentation for brewmasters, production staff, sales representatives, and administrative personnel.
In 2025, Craft Beer Company GP formally reported a data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, alerting consumers and employees to an unauthorized compromise of its network infrastructure. In the context of modern food and beverage enterprises, security incidents typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as targeted ransomware deployments, unauthorized intrusions into e-commerce payment portals, or vulnerabilities within third-party logistics and point-of-sale software vendors. These vectors often allow malicious threat actors to dwell undetected within corporate networks, systematically harvesting sensitive customer profiles, financial transaction logs, and internal corporate records before exfiltrating the data to external servers.
The exposure resulting from this breach compromises several categories of sensitive personal information, each carrying distinct and severe risks for the affected individuals. Exposed data fields frequently include full legal names, physical mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted or poorly secured payment card details, alongside internally held corporate credentials. When consumer financial and purchase history data is compromised, victims face an elevated risk of targeted phishing attacks, unauthorized credit card charges, and fraudulent e-commerce account takeovers. Furthermore, where employee records were accessed, the exposure of Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and banking details lays the groundwork for devastating identity theft, tax fraud, and unauthorized loans opened in the victims' names.
Under both New Hampshire state consumer protection statutes and the broader mandates of the Federal Trade Commission Act, commercial entities like Craft Beer Company GP have a strict legal duty to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to safeguard the personal and financial information entrusted to them. This obligation encompasses deploying robust network encryption, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, monitoring system access logs, and ensuring that third-party vendors adhere to strict cybersecurity standards. The occurrence of a data breach of this nature strongly suggests a failure in these foundational security protocols, raising serious questions about whether the company neglected industry-standard safeguards required to protect consumer and employee privacy.
Receiving a data breach notification letter from Craft Beer Company GP serves as formal legal acknowledgment that your personal data was compromised due to corporate inadequate security measures. Under established legal precedents, the receipt of this notice establishes the concrete legal standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable. Affected individuals are not required to prove that financial fraud has already occurred to seek legal redress; the mere exposure and increased risk of future identity theft are actionable injuries. Our firm investigates these data security failures on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning affected individuals pay zero upfront costs and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Many people wrongly assume a claim requires proven fraud. The law recognizes data exposure alone as harm. See which of these describes your situation:
You received a data breach notification letter from Craft Beer Company GP
You were a customer, patient, employee, or client of Craft Beer Company GP
Your personal information was stored in Craft Beer Company GP's systems
Your Social Security number or driver's license number was exposed
Your financial account, credit card, or banking information was disclosed
Your login credentials or passwords were exposed
You reside in the United States (all 50 states eligible)
That letter is legally required and confirms your data was exposed. It also gives you standing to file a claim.
What your notification letter means & what to do next →Do these four things as soon as possible; each one protects you and strengthens any claim:
Keep the Craft Beer Company GP letter. It is the document that proves you were part of this breach; a claim without it is weaker. Store a scanned backup.
Check your Craft Beer Company GP letter for credit-monitoring enrollment instructions and use them. Free monitoring catches fraud early and documents harm.
A no-cost freeze at each of the three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) blocks new-account fraud in your name; unfreeze anytime you apply for credit.
Time limits can forfeit your claim. Have attorneys review your Craft Beer Company GP case at no cost — contingency means zero upfront fees.

Several forms of recovery may be available to Craft Beer Company GP letter recipients — the exact mix depends on state law and the data types exposed:
States like New Hampshire may allow statutory damages per incident regardless of actual harm — California sets $100–$750 as the benchmark.
If the breach led to fraudulent charges or unauthorized transactions on your accounts, those losses are recoverable.
Compensation for hours spent monitoring accounts, disputing fraud, freezing credit, and dealing with the aftermath of the breach.
Credit-monitoring subscriptions and protection plans you bought because of the breach are recoverable expenses.
SSN and driver's license exposure creates long-term identity theft risk. Courts recognize the ongoing value of this harm and may award damages accordingly.
Exposure of financial account or credit/debit card information entitles victims to recover for actual and potential fraud losses.
New Hampshire's breach notification law (RSA 359-C) requires timely notice to affected individuals and the Attorney General. New Hampshire residents may pursue civil action for actual damages and attorney's fees stemming from inadequate data protection.
