ITEM 2.03

CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBGLIATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT


        

On March 12, 2008, the Board of Directors of Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation (“Golden West”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden West Brewing Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) approved a Promissory Note and Security Agreement effective March  12, 2008 wherein Golden West, doing business as Blue Marble Brewing (as Borrower) was extended a loan by Peter Hirschburg (as Lender) in the principal amount of $50,000.


The entire principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) is due in full May 31, 2008.  


Golden West and the Company have agreed to pay the Lender a financing fee in the form of 5,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  


The repayment of the Promissory Note to the Lender is secured by a security interest created by a Security Agreement covering all of Golden West’s inventory and account receivables associated with its distribution agreement with Cost Plus World Markets covering the manufacture and sale of Blue Marble craft beers.  The Promissory Note has also been secured by the personal guaranty of John C. Power, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
