Troegs Brewing Company just released their most popular beer Nugget Nectar, which currently is only brewed once a year. Over the next month or two this will be one of the most searched for beers on BeerMenus.

Craft breweries by definition brew beer in small batches, which means there's limited availability. Here's an outline of what types of beers you will be able to purchase and how to get access to the limited release beers that will attract the most customers to your business.

Chris Black, owner of Falling Rock Tap House explains on craftbeer.com: "There are bars and restaurants that brewers want their craft beers in, and then there are places they don’t know of yet. If a bar owner wants to carry amazing beers, they must get noticed because of the things they’re doing with and for good beer. The opportunity to sell great beer is earned, not demanded."

Creating an online beer menu allows you to attract new customers in your neighborhood who are searching on Google for a place to find a beer.

Helping customers find beers they love is an extremely important part of growing your business. When you help customers find beers they love, they will not only have a great experience, but they will also be excited to continue discovering more new craft beers at your business.
