BeerBorg

Is it just me, or.....

It seems like every brewery in my area that has a tasting room, usually offering food (in-house or trucks) and entertainment, falls into the same routine with their Facebook pages.

10% of their posts are about the food.
90% of their posts are about the entertainment.
ZERO% of the their posts are about....THEIR BEER!!!

When I visit a brewery's page to see what they have on tap currently, I don't give a which acoustic singer/songwriter is playing two Fridays from now. Or, who's food truck is going to be there on Saturday. Tell me what beer you've got on tap!! Is that too much to ask?!

I feel your pain, but I'm not on facebook. I look for a website, though sometimes find that fb is their only online presence.

Most breweries don't have a clue about Marketing.

Many breweries don't even keep their websites or FB pages updated, so you find a list of beers, go there, and it doesn't match up.

Brewery near our cottage has good beer, but they brew in very small batches, they often run out the same day. After arriving to find 2 beers on tap, I always call first.

I don't do Facebook either -- you don't need an account to see most business' pages. And yes, a lot of breweries only have a FB presence. Or if they have a website, it's never updated and they only update FB.
Unfortunately, it seems most of them only update FB with music and food information. Grrr.......

Made me curious, so I checked our local brewery's page and sho nuff...
the next three weekends scheduled entertainment and not a word about what's on tap!!

New small brewery we went to last night. Had to FB message them as they have no website, and they sent back a photo of the small beer list. Beer was good, only 4 on tap, and tiny brewery. Prices were $3.25 - $3.75 per pint, crazy low!
