Accessibility Policy

Burn & Brew is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to make our website usable by as many people as possible.

1. Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We review our website regularly and work to address any barriers we identify. Our goal is that all users — regardless of ability or the assistive technology they use — can access the information and services on our Site.

2. Standards We Follow

In working toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we focus on the following core principles:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that users can perceive. This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, captions for multimedia, and content that can be presented in different ways without losing meaning.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation are operable by keyboard and assistive technologies. We avoid content that causes seizures or physical reactions and provide users enough time to read and use content.
• Understandable: Text is readable and understandable. Pages appear and operate in predictable ways, and input assistance is available where errors may occur.
• Robust: Content is robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies such as screen readers.

3. Measures We Take

Specific steps we have taken or are taking to improve accessibility on this Site include:

• Using semantic HTML elements and proper heading hierarchy
• Providing descriptive alt text for meaningful images
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background elements
• Supporting keyboard navigation throughout the Site
• Using ARIA labels and roles where appropriate to improve screen reader compatibility
• Providing visible focus indicators for interactive elements
• Using responsive design to ensure usability across devices and screen sizes
• Avoiding the use of flashing or strobing content
• Ensuring links have descriptive, meaningful text

4. Known Limitations

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across the entire Site, some areas may not yet fully conform. Known limitations include:

• Some older content or third-party embedded content may not fully meet our accessibility standards
• Certain decorative design elements (SVG icons, background graphics) may have limited accessibility metadata
• Third-party services we link to (including maps, social media platforms) are subject to their own accessibility policies and are outside our direct control

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter an accessibility barrier on any part of our Site, please let us know using the contact information below.

5. Third-Party Content

Our Site may contain links to or embed content from third-party services (including Google Maps, social media platforms, and analytics tools). We cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. Where alternative means of accessing equivalent information exist, we strive to provide them.

6. Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our Site. If you experience any barriers to access, encounter a page or feature that is difficult to use, or would like to request accessible alternatives for any content, please reach out. We take all accessibility concerns seriously and will work to address reported issues promptly.

7. Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is not a one-time project — it is an ongoing commitment. We conduct periodic reviews of our Site to identify and address accessibility issues. We also incorporate accessibility considerations into the development of any new features or content added to the Site. This policy is reviewed and updated as needed to reflect the current state of our accessibility efforts.

8. Formal Complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you may wish to contact the relevant authority in your jurisdiction. In the United States, web accessibility for commercial entities may be addressed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The U.S. Department of Justice provides information about ADA rights and filing complaints at ada.gov.
