Your Brewery's Pouring Great Beer Into a Leaking Website
If you're a brewery owner watching visitors bounce before they see your taproom hours or merch drop, you're losing revenue to a site built for 2015.
Custom brewery websites built for taproom traffic, online ordering, and brand loyalty. Fast, mobile-first, and designed to convert.
Your site goes live and someone's already testing it -- sitting in your parking lot with two bars of signal, trying to figure out if you're open and what's pouring right now. Brewery website development is building for that exact moment: live tap lists your staff updates in 90 seconds, mobile-first layouts that load before impatience kicks in, and local SEO architecture that puts your taproom at the top when someone searches "brewery near me." It's also the infrastructure your business actually needs -- DTC storefronts with age verification and shipping compliance, mug club portals that turn one-time visitors into recurring revenue, and event calendars your team can update without filing developer tickets. We deliver fully functional sites in 30 days because seasonal releases don't wait for drawn-out agency timelines. The goal isn't a pretty pint glass photo. It's capturing walk-in traffic before they choose the brewery two blocks away.
Your Current Site May Be a Liability
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Age Gate Verification
Age verification that actually works doesn't have to be annoying. We build legally compliant modals that get out of the way fast, plus cookie-based persistence so your regulars aren't jumping through hoops every single visit.
Real-Time Tap List
Your staff can update the beer menu from a phone -- no code, no developer, no ticket. ABV, IBU, style, availability -- all editable through a CMS built for people who make beer, not people who write JavaScript.
Online Ordering Integration
Whether you're selling crowlers, branded merch, or gift cards, we'll set up either a Shopify Storefront API integration or a custom cart depending on your volume. Stripe handles checkout, and shipping zone rules keep you compliant with alcohol delivery regulations by state.
Taproom & Location Finder
Google Maps integration covers the basics -- hours, directions, real-time wait estimates. But for brewery groups expanding across Denver, Chicago, or wherever you're planting flags next, we build in proper multi-location support from the start.
Event & Release Calendar
Tap takeovers, live music nights, limited can releases -- your team manages all of it from a self-serve dashboard. And when you publish an event, automatic social sharing and email triggers go out without anyone having to remember to post.
Alcohol Advertising Compliance
TTB compliance and state-level advertising rules are genuinely complicated. We handle the meta tags and structured data configuration that keeps your Google and Meta listings within platform policies so your ad accounts stay healthy.

Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Brand & Beer Audit
Week 1We start by actually learning your brewery. Your brand, your tap list philosophy, how your taproom runs on a busy Saturday, who your competitors are locally. You walk us through what makes your place different, and we figure out how to translate that into a site that doesn't look like everyone else's.
Design & Prototype
Weeks 2-3High-fidelity mockups for the homepage, tap list, location pages, and e-commerce -- built with your actual beer photography, not placeholder wireframes. You see exactly what you're getting before a line of code gets written.
Build & Integrate
Weeks 4-6The tech stack we typically use: Next.js on the frontend, a headless CMS for content management, your chosen e-commerce layer, and integrations for POS, email marketing, and reservation systems where needed.
Launch & Optimize
Week 7Launch day covers edge deployment, analytics configuration, sitemap submission, and full Lighthouse audits. Plus your team gets real CMS training -- not a recorded video nobody watches -- so you're actually self-sufficient on day one.
Growth Support
Week 8+Post-launch, you've got 30 days of included support. After that, an optional retainer covers seasonal updates, new beer pages, and ongoing conversion optimization as your business grows.
