Plugin Description

BrewBuddy is a beer management plugin that allows users to add beers to the site. Once the beers are added, pages are automatically populated much like blog posts are. Beers can be viewed by style, availability, what’s on tap, and pairings. Once beers are added, custom print-friendly beer menus can be made and printed, using a multitude of filtering and sorting options to make creating a menu fast and easy. Update what’s on tap in less places with BrewBuddy.
