Instruction A.2. below):
Item
3.02. Unregistered Sales of Securities.
On
November 16, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Mendocino Brewing
Company, Inc. (the "Company") approved the issuance of an aggregate of 152,500
shares of the Company's unregistered common stock to certain of the Company's
independent non-employee directors in recognition of services provided to the
Board by such directors and as compensation pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Directors' Compensation Plan, as amended, for their attendance at
Board and Committee meetings held during 2008. The Company believes
that the issuance of the aforementioned shares is exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because of
the limited numbers of recipients, the significant business experience and
financial sophistication of each of the recipients and the intimate knowledge
and familiarity with the Company's business possessed by such
directors.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
