Put your brew day and taproom on screen

Sizzledraft turns a brewery website into a short video ad using real screenshots, brand colours and type from the site. It can highlight the brewing process, current pours and the taproom, then deliver a platform-ready video with scored, normalised audio.

Opening lines that work here

  • See what is pouring after today’s brew.

    It connects the production process with the immediate reason to visit the taproom.

  • From mash tun to your Friday pint.

    It turns familiar brewery equipment into a short story that ends with a taproom occasion.

  • This weekend’s taproom pour starts here.

    It gives brew-day footage a timely purpose and leads naturally into the current beer lineup.

How can a brewery website become a video ad?

Sizzledraft drives a browser through the brewery website and captures real page screenshots. It can move from grain, mash tun or fermenter imagery into beer names, tasting notes and a closing taproom scene with opening hours or location details. The scene uses the site’s own colours, type and visual tokens, so the finished ad stays recognisable as the brewery rather than looking like a generic beer template. The first video is cut from the site alone. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on a can release, a tank-to-tap process or Saturday service. Each scene is rendered frame by frame at 30fps, with H.264 delivery and audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

What should a brewery show in the first three seconds?

Start with the part of brewing that creates movement or anticipation: grain dropping into the mash, steam around the brewhouse, a fermenter detail or the first clean pour at the tap. Pair it with a short line that connects the process to a specific taproom reason, such as a fresh release or weekend service. Avoid opening on a brewery logo against an empty background. Drinkers need immediate context before the brand mark earns attention. If the website has no process video, strong still photographs can still create a sequence through crops, pans and concise captions. Put the beer style, release timing or taproom occasion early, then use the final scene for the address, hours or booking instruction.

Should brewery ads use trending sounds?

A trending sound should be attached inside the social platform when the post is published. Sizzledraft hands over the relevant sound as a link instead of baking it into the video file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound natively. The delivered video can still include scored audio normalised to -14 LUFS, giving the cut a usable rhythm and level before publishing. For brewery footage, choose sound timing that supports visible actions such as grain falling, valves turning, cans moving along the line or a pint reaching the bar. Do not let the track dictate cuts that hide the brewing step or rush the taproom details. The process and visit information still need to read clearly without sound.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible brewery pages, including beer descriptions, brew-kit photography, taproom galleries, event details, opening hours and brand styling. It may struggle with age gates, embedded social feeds, rotating tap lists loaded inside third-party widgets and process footage that exists only behind a play button, so key details should also appear as page text or images.

The common mistake

A common brewery ad mistake is showing slow beauty shots of stainless tanks without explaining what is being brewed or why someone should visit. Fix it by naming the brewing step, connecting it to a specific beer, and ending with the taproom occasion, opening time or release date.

  • A static tap list does not show the movement, craft and timing behind a brew day.
  • Taproom photos often sit across gallery, events and location pages, making a clear visit-focused story difficult to cut.
  • Seasonal releases change quickly, so an ad can show an outdated beer name, can design or availability window.

Questions

Can the ad show both brewing and the taproom?
Yes. A useful brewery sequence can begin with ingredients or brewhouse equipment, move through fermentation or packaging, and finish with current pours and the taproom. The website needs clear images and visible details for each stage. If production content is limited, the cut can focus more closely on the pour, room and visit information.
What video formats does a brewery receive?
Vertical video is 1080x1920 for phone-first placements, while horizontal video is 1920x1080 for wider placements. Both render at 30fps and use H.264. The framing matters for breweries because tall fermenters, can stacks, tap handles and wide taproom interiors need different crops in each format.
Can we make a video for a new beer release?
The first video is cut from the brewery site alone, so the release must already appear there to be featured accurately. Later videos accept a prompt directing the cut toward a named beer, its style, packaging and release date. Keep the product page and tap availability current before the browser captures them.
What does it cost to make brewery video ads?
Two videos cost $19. The monthly option costs $39 for eight videos, which can suit breweries rotating taproom events, seasonal releases and packaged beer announcements. Keep each brief tied to one clear reason to visit or buy, rather than trying to fit the full tap list and every brewing step into one cut.
