Meta Advertising & Paid Social Media for Breweries & Taprooms

Meta advertising is when you run paid campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Meta Audience Network. For a brewery or taproom, it’s an opportunity to specifically target local craft beer lovers with ads highlighting your taproom, events, new releases, and brand story.

Paid social ensures that your brewery’s content reaches the people you want to engage with - local craft beer fans, people looking for events, and potential future regulars. It is a reliable way to grow your crowd and have a steady flow of customers at your taproom.

Meta’s targeting lets you reach people by location, interests, and behaviors. BEERSOFT builds campaigns that connect with local craft beer enthusiasts, people who engage with similar taprooms, and lookalike audiences based on your best customers. That means your brewery reaches people most likely to visit.

Both platforms are part of Meta and managed through the same Ads Manager. Facebook has a wider audience reach, although Instagram features a younger crowd and has a more visual appeal. BEERSOFT leverages both platforms to run your brewery’s campaigns and therefore, maximize the reach.

Retargeting delivers ads to users who have previously had some interaction with your brewery. They may have visited your website, engaged with your social media, or simply signed up for your email list. As these audiences are already familiar with your brand, they are more inclined to convert. BEERSOFT establishes retargeting campaigns that ensure your taproom is the first thing that comes to your customer’s mind.

Definitely. One of the best ways for breweries to use Meta advertising is by promoting their events. BEERSOFT runs campaigns that increase general awareness, drive RSVPs, and keep people reminded as the event gets closer. Greatly promoted trivia nights, live music, and beer releases attract a crowd.

Budgets vary based on your goals, market size, and what you’re promoting. Even modest budgets can deliver meaningful results when targeting is focused and creative is authentic. BEERSOFT helps breweries find the right spend level for their growth stage.

Meta offers interest-based targeting including craft beer, breweries, specific beer styles, and beverage brands. We also use behavioral targeting, location-based targeting, and lookalike audiences built from your existing customers. BEERSOFT layers these to connect with craft beer drinkers most likely to visit your taproom.

Real visuals have the biggest impact - genuine photographs of your taproom, your beer, your events, your staff. Craft beer drinkers prefer real content to highly polished stock photos. BEERSOFT creates content that reflects your brewery’s character and resonates with your audience.
