The Challenge

Beyond the Taproom

Iron Oak Brewing had built a cult following in their taproom. Lines out the door on release days. A loyal community of craft beer enthusiasts who knew every seasonal by name.

But their reach was limited to whoever could physically visit. Distribution deals meant giving up margin and control. And when the pandemic hit, they realized how vulnerable a taproom-only model could be.

They needed to bring the taproom experience home. Not just sell beer online, but recreate the community, the discovery, the anticipation of a new release.
