A jingle and video ad for your craft brewery
SingingAds turns a beer or taproom page into a short vertical video ad with an original jingle about the style, the hops and the release, sung by an AI voice. The characters are always fictional adults. Alcohol ads carry extra rules: TTB treats your social posts as advertising, Meta requires 21+ targeting in the US, and TikTok bars anyone under 25 from appearing in alcohol ad content.
Updated
What a beer jingle should sing
- The style and one sensory pair. "Hazy IPA, mango and pine" or "dry stout, coffee and cocoa".
- The release moment. Can drop Saturday, a seasonal back on tap, the anniversary barrel-aged batch.
- Where to get it. The taproom street, the to-go fridge, the stores on your page.
- The strength, plainly. TikTok asks alcohol ads to state alcohol content, and a number sung once reads as honest.
Skip the party montage. A beer ad that sells the glass and the place earns more trust than one that sells the night out.
TTB: your post is an advertisement
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's Industry Circular 2024-1 (30 Oct 2024) says content a brewery posts on social media is advertising and must carry the mandatory statements, such as the name and address of the responsible advertiser. An ad that promotes the brand rather than a specific beer needs the advertiser's name, city and state or other contact information.
- A video that is not tied to a profile carrying that information must show the statements in the video itself.
- If people can download or share the video, it must contain the information or link back to it.
- Where space is short, a clearly labeled link straight to the information can do the job.
Put the brewery name and city on the end card or in your edit before posting. SingingAds adds your web address to the end card; the legal statements are yours to check.
Meta and TikTok: who sees it and who appears in it
- Meta (Alcohol standard, change log 26 Jun 2024): alcohol ads targeting the US must be aimed at people 21 or older, and no market may be targeted under 18. Some countries ban alcohol ads outright.
- TikTok (Alcohol policy, updated September 2025): no targeting or appealing to people below the legal drinking age, no one under 25 featured in the ad, no excessive drinking, intoxication or reckless behavior, no pregnant people, no alcohol as a prize, and a responsible drinking line on the ad and landing page. Availability depends on local law and market rules.
SingingAds characters are fictional adults; ask in the brief for a cast that clearly reads as 30-plus, and redraw any frame where someone looks young, drinks fast or holds keys near a glass.
Format, look and the taproom speaker
Cinematic sells condensation on a can and the warm light of a taproom; studio product keeps your real can art unchanged. Thirty seconds fits a release; 15 seconds suits reminders to people who already follow you. A can lineup works as a slideshow from your real photos.
Many breweries get more use from the audio than the video: the jingle downloads on its own for a local podcast or a radio spot, with no royalties. Broadcast alcohol ads have their own station rules, so ask the station first. See radio ad jingles.
Claims a brewery should not sing
- "Smoothest", "best in the state", medal claims you cannot show: comparisons, flagged.
- Anything tying beer to health, energy, success or attraction.
- Drinking games, shotgunning, "one more round" pressure.
Rewriting a flagged line costs nothing. See how claims are checked and the example ads for the looks.
Example brief and lyrics (illustrative example; Lantern Creek Brewing is a made-up brewery)
Release page says: "Porch Light", hazy IPA, 6.8% ABV, mango and pine, 4-packs of 16 oz cans, release Saturday at the taproom on Mill Street. The page also says it is "the smoothest IPA in the state".
Brief: buyer is a 35-year-old local who visits the taproom on weekends; moment: Saturday afternoon after yard work. Claims to sing: hazy IPA, mango and pine, 6.8%, Saturday release, Mill Street. Flagged and left out: "smoothest IPA in the state".
Lyrics, 30 seconds:
- Saturday, the yard is done,
- Porch Light's pouring on Mill Street,
- hazy IPA, mango and pine,
- six point eight, so take your time,
- four-packs cold to carry home,
- Lantern Creek. Please drink responsibly.
What it can't do
- It does not know your state's alcohol advertising rules or check TTB mandatory statements.
- It does not post, age-gate or target the ads; you set 21+ in each ad platform.
- Characters are fictional adults; it cannot feature your real staff or regulars.
What it costs
From $15 for one ad, or $59 for about 6 thirty-second video ads. Credits never expire. A jingle take costs 4 credits; a typical 30-second video ad about 26. There is no free tier and no free sample.
One-time packs
One ad
$15 once
Five ads
$59 once
Questions
- Can a brewery advertise beer on TikTok?
TikTok says alcohol advertising follows local laws and its market rules, with no appeal to anyone under the legal drinking age and no one under 25 in the ad. Check the US market requirements for your account before you build a campaign.
- What age should a beer ad target on Facebook and Instagram?
Meta requires alcohol ads aimed at the US to target people 21 or older.
- Does the video need our brewery address?
TTB says a video not tied to a profile with the mandatory statements must carry them in the video itself, and shareable videos need the information or a link to it. Add the name, city and state in the end card or your edit.
- Can the character drink on screen?
A fictional adult holding a pint is common. Keep it to one calm sip, never chugging or visible intoxication, which TikTok's policy rules out.
- We make a non-alcoholic beer too. Same rules?
Meta allows non-alcoholic product ads when they do not depict alcohol or drinking it. Make the NA ad from its own page so the song never mixes in the IPA.
