Common questions about your custom brewery website.
It is built to be changed from a phone in under a minute, because a tap list that takes effort to update is a tap list that goes stale.
Events give the site something genuinely new on a regular basis, and they answer the what-is-on question that brings people to a taproom site in the first place.
Merchandise, yes. Growler and crowler fills and to-go sales vary a great deal by state, and some prohibit them outright for certain license classes, so we build that part to your state rules with age verification on any alcohol sale.
That is the point of the build. LocalBusiness schema, real business data, and page speed are what put Cedar Rapids businesses into local results rather than page three.
