Can the tap list stay current automatically?

Yes — we build the tap list to live in one place, and where your POS or beer app supports it, sync it so the site is never out of date. See automation for breweries.

Can we notify fans about can releases?

Yes. We set up an owned email/SMS list so a release fires to your superfans directly — reach you control, not an algorithm — connected to online sales if you sell online.

Can we handle private buyouts and events on the site?

Yes — a structured private-event form plus a public events calendar fills slow nights and turns DMs into real, dated bookings.

Do we need an app for a loyalty or mug club?

Usually not — a web rewards flow and email/SMS list cover it without an install. A logged-in platform can make sense for a serious membership program; the honest take is on the app page.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Websites, apps & automation for breweries

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

Nabee Studio builds custom websites, platforms, and automation for breweries — from $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. One partner replaces the stack of vendors, template subscriptions, and manual work, so working with us saves money, time, or both.

A brewery is a taproom, a production business, and an events venue wrapped in one — and each part needs different things from a website. Drinkers want to know what's on tap right now; the trade wants a distribution and wholesale line; and the taproom needs to fill slow weeknights with events, trivia, and private bookings. Most brewery sites nail the vibe and forget all three.

The daily cost is a taproom manager updating a chalkboard, a Untappd list, and the website separately, fielding "are you dog-friendly / do you do private parties" over and over, and letting can releases go quiet because there's no list to tell.

Where breweries lose time and money online

The tap list is out of date the moment it's posted

Beers rotate constantly, and a static menu on the site is wrong within days. Drinkers checking before they drive out want the real current list. A tap list managed in one place — ideally synced from your POS or beer app — is right every time.

Can releases and drops have no audience to announce to

Limited releases sell out to the people who know. Without an owned email/SMS list, you're relying on social reach you don't control. A release-notification flow turns superfans into a launch-day line.

Private bookings and events are managed by DM and inbox

Buyouts, private parties, and event-space rentals are high-margin, but they come in unstructured. A booking form and an events calendar that fills slow nights capture that revenue without the coordinator's inbox becoming the system of record.

Wholesale and distribution requests get lost with retail

Bars and shops that want to carry your beer are a different buyer than the taproom crowd, and their inquiries drown in the general contact form. A dedicated wholesale path routes them correctly and captures license and volume details up front.

What manual work does a custom build remove?

The typical brewery runs on manual touchpoints like these:

Updating the tap list on the website, chalkboard, and beer apps separately
Announcing can releases and hoping social reach finds the right people
Fielding private-event and buyout requests through DMs and email
Managing the events calendar (trivia, live music) by hand across channels
Sorting wholesale inquiries out of the general contact form manually
Selling merch and gift cards in person only

Each of those is hours a week that a custom build turns into software:

Live tap list — A current what's-on-tap display managed in one place, syncable from your POS or beer app so drinkers checking before they visit always see the real list.
Release-notification list — An owned email/SMS list that fires a can-release or event announcement to your superfans automatically — reach you control, not an algorithm.
Event + private-booking flow — Structured intake for buyouts and private parties plus a public events calendar, so slow nights fill without the coordinator's inbox becoming the database.
Wholesale inquiry routing — A dedicated distribution form that captures license, volume, and location and routes it to sales instead of drowning in the retail contact form.

Integrations that matter for breweries

POS / tap-list sync (Square / Toast) · Online payments & merch (Stripe / Shopify) · Email + SMS marketing · Events calendar · Beer platforms (Untappd embeds) · Age-verification gate — built in, not bolted on with extra subscriptions.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Most breweries need a content-rich website with a live tap list, events, and a release list — a logged-in platform only matters for a brewery running a formal wholesale portal or membership club.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
