We just delivered our first batch of sports card donations through the Replay Gives Back initiative, bringing smiles to kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America of Greater Charlotte.

2024 has been a ride, and we’re just getting warmed up. This year, we relaunched the Tapster franchise opportunity with one clear goal: to bring our community-first tasting rooms to more neighborhoods, near and far. And thanks to some incredible local entrepreneurs, we’re making it happen. Husband-and-wife teams are leading the charge in Lexington, KY and Denver, CO, and we’ve poured our first pints in Bellevue, WA—a sign of great things to come. To all of you who’ve supported Tapster along the way, we see you, and we’re grateful. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the craft pours or the great spaces—it’s about the people who make it all possible. More growth is on the horizon, and the taps are flowing stronger than ever. Here’s to what’s next. ?? #TapsterTastingRoom #PouringGrowth #CommunityBuilt #2024Momentum #CheersToMore
