The booming craft beer industry is also attracting restaurants. Craft beers offer a variety of flavors, styles and aromas that enhance the customer's overall dining experience. It provides a unique and diverse alternative to traditional beer selections, allowing restaurants to cater to a wider range of tastes and preferences.
 
To understand how your restaurant can enjoy selling craft beer, let’s define it. American craft beers include:
It's smaller - the brewery sells no more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.
Independent – means a non-craft brewery owns less than 25% of the brewery.
Traditional – Most beers produced by breweries derive their flavor from traditional or innovative brewing ingredients and their fermentation.
 
When people drink craft beer, they feel healthier. And, craft beer drinkers are loyal. Once they find their favorite, they'll come back to drink it again and again. When it's on a restaurant menu, it means they're ordering your food, since beer drinkers are usually hungry customers.
 
Craft beers come in a variety of flavors and pair well with a variety of dishes. Restaurants can take advantage of this and create beer and food pairing menus or recommend specific craft beers to pair with their dishes. Not only does this enhance the dining experience, it also encourages customers to try new beers and explore different flavours.
 
In a saturated market, restaurants need to differentiate themselves from their competitors. By carefully curating a craft beer menu, restaurants can stand out and attract customers looking for a more unique, professional dining experience. It can give them a competitive advantage over businesses that only offer mainstream beer selections.
 
Craft breweries often partner with local restaurants to produce unique beer offerings, such as exclusive beers or limited releases. This partnership fosters a sense of community and mutual support, attracting customers who appreciate local businesses and want to try something exclusive and locally produced.
 
Additionally, craft beer drinkers are passionate about their favorite beers and often seek out establishments that offer a variety of options. By offering craft beers, restaurants can interact with customers who are interested in the brewing process, tasting notes and the stories behind each beer. This creates opportunities for dialogue, education and building long-term customer relationships.
