Website Design for Brentwood Craft Beer and Cider
Brentwood Craft Beer and Cider is a family-owned taproom in downtown Brentwood, California, known for its rotating lineup of craft beers, ciders, and community-focused events. Since opening in 2019, they’ve positioned themselves as a welcoming, all-ages gathering spot where locals can explore new brews, attend pairings, and connect with friends right on Oak Street.
The goal of this website project was to give Brentwood Craft an online home that feels as inviting and vibrant as their taproom—while making it effortless for guests to find what’s on tap, see upcoming events, and plan their next visit. Public listings and event promotions emphasize their variety, rotating menu, and local involvement, so the site needed to reflect that energy while staying easy to navigate.

The focus
From the beginning, the design strategy centered on three priorities: showcasing the taproom’s personality, making key information instantly accessible, and supporting Brentwood Craft’s role in the local community. Their public description highlights that they are a community taproom open to all ages, specializing in craft beer and cider, which shaped both the tone and structure of the site.
The website needed to:
- Feel warm, relaxed, and approachable, mirroring the in-person experience.
- Make it easy for visitors to find the location, hours, and contact details.
- Support event promotions and special pairings that Brentwood Craft is known for.
- Encourage both new and returning guests to stay connected with what’s happening next.
These goals were informed by how Brentwood Craft appears across local guides, event listings, and taproom profiles, which consistently emphasize community, variety, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Design goals
For Brentwood Craft’s website, I focused on:
- Creating a clean, mobile-friendly layout so guests can quickly check details on the go.
- Highlighting the taproom’s downtown Brentwood location and easy-to-spot Oak Street address.
- Structuring content to support rotating offerings and events, reflecting how often their menu and happenings change.
- Using a visual style that feels modern and craft-forward, without losing the relaxed, local taproom vibe.
The overall experience is designed so a visitor can land on the site, immediately understand what Brentwood Craft offers, and take the next step—whether that’s visiting in person, bringing friends to an event, or following the brand for upcoming pairings and special releases.
The result
The finished website gives Brentwood Craft an online presence that finally matches the energy of their taproom: local, lively, and community-driven. It makes practical information—like hours, address, and contact—simple to find, while leaving room to feature new beers, ciders, and events as the lineup evolves.
For a small, family-owned business that relies heavily on local support, a strategic website helps bridge the gap between word-of-mouth and online discovery. This project shows how thoughtful design can turn a neighborhood taproom’s story into a clear, engaging digital experience that attracts both regulars and first-time visitors.
