Fast UK-hosted websites for craft breweries and micro-distilleries - online shop, taproom bookings, trade enquiries, and professional email from £2.99/mo.
Why It Matters
Craft breweries and micro-distilleries operate with a dual commercial model - retail and taproom sales to end consumers, and wholesale trade supply to pubs, restaurants, bars, and independent off-licences. A website must serve both audiences effectively while meeting age verification and licensing obligations for online alcohol sales. Your AWRS (Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme) registration is a legal requirement for businesses selling alcohol wholesale; your premises licence permits taproom and direct retail sales. Online shop sales of bottled, canned, and mixed case beer, spirits, and gift sets generate direct-to-consumer revenue at full retail margins without the overhead of additional trade staff. Trade account enquiries from pubs, restaurants, and off-licences seeking local craft suppliers require a structured wholesale enquiry form. Taproom visit and event bookings - brewery tours, tasting flights, private dining - create experiential revenue that builds brand loyalty among local consumers. Your production story, ingredient sourcing, water profiles, yeast cultures, and ageing processes are the brand narrative that differentiates artisanal craft from mass production and justifies premium pricing in both retail and trade channels.

The Problem
These are the issues Breweries & Micro-Distilleries most commonly hit when their hosting isn't built for small UK businesses.
Online alcohol sales without age verification gate mechanisms risk licensing compliance violations - a properly built WooCommerce store with age verification meets UK online retail obligations and SIBA best practice guidelines.
Trade buyers and pub landlords searching for local craft suppliers expect a professional website with wholesale enquiry capability - a brewery or distillery without a trade section misses these high-volume, recurring accounts entirely.
Taproom revenue from tours, tastings, and private hire events is high-margin compared to trade sales - but without online booking, these events are managed by phone and social media message at significant administrative cost.
How We Help

What You Get
Your website does specific things other trades don't need - these features make sure it works the way it should.
WooCommerce with an age verification plugin enables compliant online sales of bottled, canned, and case beer and spirits. Free SSL ensures secure checkout, and delivery restriction zones prevent sales outside your licenced delivery area.
A structured wholesale enquiry form capturing business type, outlet name, volume requirements, and area generates qualified trade leads from pub landlords, restaurant buyers, and off-licence owners searching for local craft suppliers.
Online booking for brewery tours, tasting flights, tap takeover nights, and private hire events fills your taproom calendar efficiently and generates premium experiential revenue with advance payment collected at booking.
A detailed production narrative covering ingredients, process, water source, yeast culture, and recipe philosophy differentiates your craft product in both consumer and trade markets and justifies premium pricing against macro-brewery alternatives.
