For NC Brewery Owners
Turn your events, beer releases, and brewery news into searchable local media. Most brewery updates live for a few hours on Instagram, maybe a day on Facebook, and then disappear. NCBreweries.com gives your brewery a permanent, searchable home — with direct links back to your website, taproom, online store, and social.
Not a social media platform to manage. A statewide beer magazine and brewery discovery site, built specifically to help NC breweries get found.
You already have news worth sharing — a new IPA, an anniversary party, Oktoberfest weekend, trivia night, live bluegrass, a food truck schedule, a limited barrel-aged stout, a collaboration beer. But most of that content gets posted once and vanishes. NCBreweries.com turns those updates into long-lasting, SEO-friendly content that can keep working for your brewery long after the original post is gone.
Your brewery updates become indexable articles, event pages, and release posts — the format Google actually rewards.
Send visitors to your website, online store, event tickets, tap list, reservations, merch, newsletter, or social accounts.
Get included in city guides, regional pages, event roundups, beer release coverage, and editorial-style content.
Show up like a brewery that has news, momentum, and an active community — not just an Instagram grid.
One year of statewide visibility costs less than a few boosted posts. The Verified plan is about 55 cents a day.
Post directly yourself, or send us the details and we'll handle the writing and publishing for you.

A boosted post can get attention for a few days. A post on NCBreweries.com becomes part of a discovery network — and stays there. Instead of paying for one moment of attention, you're building a lasting media footprint for your brewery.
You don't need another complicated marketing tool. You need an easy way to say "we're releasing a new hazy IPA Friday" or "we have live music Saturday night" — and have that update become real content people can find.
If it gives someone a reason to visit your brewery, it belongs on NCBreweries.com.

Multiple North Carolina Press Association awards for journalism.
NCBreweries.com is published by Eric Crews, an award-winning journalist and author whose work has won multiple North Carolina Press Association awards and appeared in WNC Magazine, Our State, Blue Ridge Outdoors, Capital at Play, and Climbing Magazine.
A regular in the Asheville brewery scene, Eric started NCBreweries.com because he wanted a real online magazine for what North Carolina breweries are doing every week — releases, events, taproom stories, and the small details that don't get caught on social media before they disappear.
He's committed to helping breweries across the state grow their reach online with editorial coverage you'd actually want to read — not another directory of auto-generated listicles.
"Every brewery in this state has stories worth telling. NCBreweries.com is built so those stories actually get found — by the people who'd love to walk into your taproom this weekend."
Is this another social media platform I have to manage?
No. Send us the details once — a beer name, an event date, a short note — and your update becomes a permanent, searchable page on NCBreweries.com. No daily feed to keep alive.
Who reads NCBreweries.com?
Adult craft beer drinkers in North Carolina, travelers planning NC beer trips, and locals looking for what's new on tap. Our editorial is built to rank in local search — so when someone googles your town plus 'breweries' or 'new beer release', your page is what they find.
Do I need to be in North Carolina?
Yes. Every brewery on the site has a physical taproom or production facility in NC. That's the whole point of the publication.
How does this compare to a boosted Instagram or Facebook post?
A boosted post gets attention for a few days, then disappears. A post on NCBreweries.com becomes part of a discovery network — your brewery profile, your city's brewery guide, the event calendar, new beer release pages, seasonal articles, and search results. You're building a lasting media footprint, not paying for one moment of attention.
What's the difference between Publisher Plus and Media Partner?
Publisher Plus gives you up to 12 posts a year that our editors polish and format properly. Media Partner is fully done-for-you — you send us the basics for every event, release, or update, and we write and publish it for you all year.
Is there a store, checkout, or delivery in this?
Not at launch. NCBreweries.com is a publishing platform. Every paid plan gets direct links to your own website, online store, ticketing, tap list, reservations, and social — we send traffic to you.
Can I cancel? Is there a long-term contract?
Plans are annual, no long-term contract. If you don't renew, your published articles and events stay archived on the site so the SEO work you paid for continues to live.
How long does it take to go live?
Verified profiles are usually live within one business day of you sending us your basics. Publisher Plus and Media Partner accounts typically launch within three business days.
