How much does a brewery website cost?

HopBuilt builds custom brewery websites starting at $599 with fixed pricing — no monthly fees. Most brewery websites fall between $599 and $1,199. The price includes design, development, local SEO setup, and launch. You own the site outright.

What should a craft brewery website include?

Every craft brewery website needs: a homepage that clearly shows your location and hours, a tap list page updated regularly, an events page, an about/story page, a contact page with your address and a Google Maps embed, and a blog for local SEO. The tap list and events pages are especially important because they keep content fresh for Google.

How do I get my brewery to rank on Google?

The most important steps to rank a brewery on Google are: 1) Fully optimize your Google Business Profile with photos, hours, and weekly posts. 2) Get a fast, mobile-friendly website with your city and brewery type in the page titles. 3) Collect Google reviews consistently. 4) Create content around keywords like 'brewery near me [city]' and 'craft beer [city]'. HopBuilt specializes in exactly this kind of local SEO for breweries.

Who builds websites for craft breweries?

HopBuilt is a web design agency that specializes exclusively in craft brewery and taproom websites. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, HopBuilt serves breweries nationwide. Every site is hand-coded (not WordPress) for maximum speed and SEO performance.

How long does it take to build a brewery website?

The Problem

Most Brewery Websites Are Quietly Losing You Business

You're great at brewing. But your website might be sending customers straight to the competitor down the street.

🐢

Slow WordPress Sites

Plugin-bloated WordPress sites routinely take 5+ seconds to load. On mobile, 53% of visitors leave before a slow page finishes. You're bleeding customers before they ever see your tap list.

📵

Broken on Mobile

Over 70% of brewery searches happen on phones — someone looking for a place to go right now. If your site isn't flawless on mobile, you're invisible to the majority of your potential walk-ins.

👻

Invisible on Google

A beautiful site no one can find is just an expensive brochure. Without SEO built in from the start, you're ceding "brewery near me" searches to competitors who thought about this first.

We can rebuild it from scratch (recommended for slow or outdated sites) or redesign it while preserving your existing content and SEO rankings. We'll assess your current site during the discovery call.
