01 The case

Why venues switch from BeerMenus

Pourwall starts free with one TV menu included — BeerMenus's free Basic Page is a listing on beermenus.com, with no TV board until you reach the $99/month Digital Beer Boards tier.
Your venue's brand on the screen — BeerMenus listings live on beermenus.com inside its consumer beer-discovery marketplace.
Cast to Android TV/Google TV, Fire TV Stick, or Chromecast — BeerMenus's TV Menus app is documented for Amazon Fire TV (Fire TV Lite recommended).
Beer, wine, cocktails, and NA are unlimited on every Pourwall plan — BeerMenus paywalls wine and cocktail support behind its $29/month Full Promotion tier.
Public, predictable pricing per location — BeerMenus's multi-location pricing routes to a scheduled sales call.

02 What you get

Why choose Pourwall over BeerMenus

Free TV menu out of the gate

Pourwall Free includes a live TV menu with unlimited taps for $0 forever. BeerMenus's free Basic Page is a marketplace listing — putting a menu on a TV requires the $99/month Digital Beer Boards plan.

Use Android TV/Google TV, Fire TV Stick, or Chromecast. BeerMenus's TV Menus app documents Amazon Fire TV as the supported device.

Full beverage menus on every plan

Beer, wine, cocktails, NA, flights, and specials all live together with no item caps. BeerMenus is beer-first; wine and cocktail management is gated behind the $29/month Full Promotion plan and above.

Your brand, not a marketplace

Pricing on the page, per location

$0 free for one screen, $30/month per location ($290/year — save 20%) for unlimited screens. BeerMenus publishes single-location tiers but routes multi-location pricing to a scheduled sales call.

You serve more than beer and want wine, cocktails, NA, flights, and specials in the same system without a tier upgrade.
You want the screen to feel like your venue's brand, not a card inside a consumer beer-discovery app.
You want pricing on the page — including multi-location — without a sales call.
You're scaling print menus or website embeds and don't want each capability gated to a higher tier.

An honest moment

When BeerMenus might be a better fit

If being listed in the BeerMenus consumer marketplace and surfaced to the 7.3M+ beer drinkers BeerMenus says use it to find great beer is part of your marketing plan.
If you're a pure craft-beer venue and want customer notifications, event marketing, and 'Coming Soon' tap announcements going out to local BeerMenus users.
If Amazon Fire TV is already your standard signage hardware and you prefer that documented app path over casting from any device.
