Tapped Craft Beer Events
Tapped Craft Beer Events launched in early 2011, and specializes in small-batch, craft beer tastings for private and corporate events. Teambuilding activities, such as beer trivia, can also be arranged. Events can take the format of educational tasting sessions or cocktail-style affairs with tasting stations. The company provides five to seven different kinds of beer geared toward the chosen topic, locally made artisan snacks, stemware, beer tasting notecards, and style guides. Tastings can take place at offices or event spaces, with a general minimum of five people and a maximum of 150. Costs start from $20 per person.
