Came across them somewhere in the social media world. Looks like their taproom opened in mid-March.

Aquanova Brewing - Hamilton
Just last week I had a conversation with a person who specializes in helping small businesses promote themselves and communicate in social media. She was part of a survey done in her New York area of small businesses. She found out over 30% of the customers and potential customers for her clients never use social media. Massive blind spot.
As someone who stays away from twatter, fleecebook, etc. I wonder how many businesses I have never heard of. Just take a bit of time and slap up a simple website. Surviving as a small brewery or bar is hard enough, don't overlook 30% of your potential customers.

Yeah, there's a mantra in the content creation world to the effect of "create once, publish everywhere". It behooves companies that make stuff to ensure they can be found wherever their potential customers could be.
Author John Scalzi is a big proponent of hosting your own website. You can share that widely but if / when the latest social media site dies you still have a home for your stuff. This was especially true when Facebook started extorting content creators to either pay a fee or lose access to a lot of people that had subscribed to their pages.
Also if you don't have an instagram account, and it's the breweries ONLY page... It's super annoying to find out things like "Are you open? Can I come buy things from you." if it's not on the first page because instagram lets you look at maybe 1-2 things before trying to force you to log in.

Yeah, to only have an Instagram page, and actually make someone work to understand who you are, is ridiculous. It's wild that something as basic as hours is overlooked.
