You know the scene well. A keg kicks and your heart drops: you've gotta update your beer menu.

What comes next goes something like this: you go to the office computer and head to Google to find the new beer's description. You search and search, finally find a description you like, then copy and paste it into your menu document. You're done...except now the formatting is screwed up. You fiddle with it until it's finally ready. You push print and take a deep breath.

You're done.

Until you have to do the exact same thing the next day.

It doesn't have to be that way! Read on to learn how to create a professional, customized beer menu template that you can update and print with just one click.

How much extra time do you have in your life? 🤔

When we ask bar or restaurant owners this question, the answer is usually something like this:

Well, staffing is a challenge. The lunch crowd could always be better. Minimum wage is going up this year, so I have to adjust for that. Oh, and one of the urinals is broken...

And while everyone's got a different list, everyone's list is very, very long. As one bar owner recently told us, “there's just not enough time in the day to do everything I need to."

Imagine a great food menu. What information does it include?

• Menu items that are available
• Description of the menu item, highlighting anything noteworthy

Now imagine a great beer menu. What information does it include?

Your answer should be identical.
