Tapster Information

BRAND The story of Tapster began in England in the early 1600s, when the Tapster nickname was born to reference a bartender serving alcoholic drinks--mostly beer--from a large, barreled tap. Tapsters always served the best beer, drawing people from near and far to enjoy catching up with friends, families, and neighbors alike. While the nickname eventually died out, Tapster has been revitalized into a modern, tasting room franchise that allows every guest to be a Tapster. TAPSTER EXPERIENCE At Tapster, we're all about giving guests the freedom to explore new local brews and enjoy their favorite drinks in a whole new way. Our self-pour concept puts the power in the hands of our guests. With 40+ taps to choose from—including beer, craft cocktails, wine, cider, hard seltzer, kombucha, cold brew coffee and craft sodas—the possibilities are endless. Plus, all beverages are charged by the ounce, so patrons can sample to their heart's content. Sample a little, pour a lot – you’re in control at Tapster. But, Tapster is more than just a bar – it's a community hub where friends gather to unwind, discover something new they like and make lasting memories. Our welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to kick back and relax, whether you're flying solo or with a group.
