2. Brief overview
Copper Door is a unique taproom located in the stadium district of Tacoma,
Washington. This taproom is unlike any other with its 16 rotating taps and over
800+ bottles of different beer for one to indulge in. Not only do they have one of the
widest selections of beer, but they have events with live music and games, and
different promotional deals going on all of the time. They also offer a lot of
merchandise ranging from t-shirts to growlers.
The owner of the copper door began with experimenting and creating his
own beers at home. Then with the help of a friend he moved to tacoma and
created a place where he could share his passion with others. Now they carry
almost any beer that one can think of and are always interested in trying new ones.
They have been downtown for 2 years now, and don’t plan on leaving any time
soon. Right now they have a moderate social media presence with a website,
facebook, instagram, and twitter but aren’t using them to their fullest potential.

6. Staffing
One person in charge, but they should hire another.
The staff should be excited and willing to participate because of how unique the
Copper Door is
Another member should be in charge of the analytics and observing what is
working for the company.
By not having one person completely in charge of the social media sites it
allows for collaboration between team members.
