In the last several years, small breweries have grown in number and popularity, attracting guests with unique flavors of artisan beers. Unlike traditional bars that offer a multitude of alcoholic drinks, mostly from commercial brands, handcrafted breweries feature a limited selection of beers produced from an independent label.
Customers love going to breweries with friends and family because of its relaxed atmosphere and great flavors. Brewery tasting environments will often include sports viewing and live music from local and visiting artists. In fact, many owner-operators are establishing “beer gardens” that invite customers to spend their day in the environment.
A great addition to any tasting room is food from local restaurants. Restaurants are partnering with local breweries to increase their menu’s exposure and grow their customer base by providing appetizers, entrees, and desserts in their tasting rooms. Restaurants are also attracting more customers with diversified menus that include local brews in their restaurant and bar. These types of mutually beneficial partnerships help establish both businesses in their local community and provide increased brand exposure to customers visiting hotspot businesses from out of town.
Some of these relationships create a unique menu and/or specially crafted beer that are only available in each of these establishments. Additionally, breweries can partner with multiple restaurants to change up menu options throughout the week.
To kick-off the new partnership, one or both establishments will host a joint event, highlighting new food and drink items with discounts, gift card raffles, or loyalty program incentives. By adding family-friendly activities and/or live music, each business attracts new customers from their shared customer base. Breweries and restaurants can promote a family-friendly environment where adults can enjoy locally crafted beers while kids enjoy activities in close proximity.

A unique benefit to partnering with craft breweries is that artisan businesses often have a loyal customer base. For restaurants and breweries, this means that including craft beers on another local menu will generate customer traffic and additional revenue for each business. This trend is enhanced by the growing number of customers prioritizing local and independent businesses.
