Festival Information

The generated site will use the festival information supplied to add titles to the various pages and also to add a link back to the organiser or festival home page. The information below was used for the Worthing Beer and Cider Festival.

The Venue Address along with the Dates are used to encode the event details into the web page for search engines to find. The Festival\Organiser name will be the link to your own website in the generated navigation menu. You can add a public Untappd list also to the navigation menu.

The Bar Names are used to create separate pages for each part of the festival list. For instance you could organise the tasting notes by style : Casks, Kegs & Ciders, or by Light & Dark beers. We will then send you a spreadsheet with a page for each bar to enter in the drink information

Once you have provided the festival information you will need to add in the tasting notes for each item. Below is an entry from the Worthing Beer Festival.

Full Untappd List (Optional)

Untappd allows users to create publically shareable lists under a user profile. If you add an Untappd List to the Festival Information then it will appear in the navigation menu. Attendees need to have an Untappd account to use that list, the advantage for them is they can filter beers they haven't tried in Untappd itself.
