The Real Ale Database for Brewers

NEWS: API Coming Soon

We are now finalising the brewery API which will give you easy access to all your beer data so you can easily embed it into your website.

We know brewing is hard work

We know that running a brewery is a time consuming business. There are so many jobs you need to be doing to produce a successful, tasty beer and there is little time left over for building & managing a website and keeping it up to date.

Does your website show what's currently available or just a generic page of your regular brews? Would you like to be able to show all of your available beers without the hassle of rebuilding the page every time you have a new brew?

We can help by building a LiveBar website for you.

Our LiveBar system is simple to operate and is designed to be updated easily and quickly. You input the information for the new brew and select it as available. That's it. The page is now up to date. You can change the status with a couple of clicks.

The simplicity means you can spend more time brewing your beers and if customers need information, it's there on the website. No more answering the phone or emails asking for tasting notes and allergen information because it's all on your website.

We can also link to full resolution pump clips for your customers to download and print if they need to.

Designed for beers

Since we started The Real Ale Database, all we have wanted to do is provide accurate information so drinkers can make an informed choice about what they are buying. We are not a tickers site and only want to use brewer's own tasting notes wherever possible.

We are now expanding to allow brewers to input that information directly into the database. This maintains the accuracy of the information as well as giving us the opportunity to create an up to date website for you.

We can build and host a generic page on our web server or we can build a bespoke website to your specifications. The choice is yours

Interested?

We are currently rebuilding the brewers system and need brewers to help with the testing.

If you are a small independent brewer who would like to help us develop and improve the site, we are offering a free bronze website in exchange for feedback and constructive comments.

Once our testing is complete, we will be offering a choice of three packages priced to suit any budget.
