  • Our Tap Trucks are based out of Northeast CT & Southern ME. We don’t necessarily have a distance we won’t travel. All of our base package quotes provided do include travel up to 100 miles from this location - do note that any locations over 100 miles away will incur additional travel fees.

  • We do! All of our services include the coverage of a $1Million liability insurance policy & the use of our CT liquor license for legal beverage pouring. :)

    For most private event locations, we find that this is sufficient, however we do always ask our clients to check with their venue prior to the event to see if they require any special insurance riders or permits for that particular location.

  • Upon review of any proposal we send to a prospective client, we’re always happy to provide a phone or video call to discuss all charges shown. Once the client is satisfied with the proposal, we then send our contract for review & signature. :) Once signed, we require 50% of the service cost up front, to hold your event date. From there, the additional 50% is billed approximately six weeks from the date of the event!

  • You’ll find that package costs will vary on a number of factors, however our base package cost starts at $3,500. This package includes:

    • Open Bar with premium beer and wine on tap for the duration of your event, all chosen by you!

    • One of our classic Tap Trucks & Certified Beertenders to host your event (up to 100 guests).

    • Tap Truck Transportation from our home base to your event and back (within 100 miles)

    • $1Million in Liquor Liability Insurance, while we host your event.

    • Custom bar top for serving

    • Plastic Bio-Degradable cups

    • Sales tax

    • An amazing event that your guests will be talking about for years to come!

  • We do have a number of add-ons available, as well as additional fees that may be incurred, based on the particulars of your event:

    • Events over 100 miles from our Central Village location do incur additional travel fees.

    • Events with over 100 guests incur additional charges for service to additional guests.

    • Events over 2.5 hours from our location may be subject to an overnight surcharge for our staff to stay near the event.

    • We offer Tap Upgrades for more premium Beer/Wine options, as well as a Cocktail Tap Upgrade!

  • We do not automatically include gratuity upon sending over our client proposals, however if you request that you’d like gratuity included, we’re always happy to do so!

  • We accept all major credit/debit cards for payment & we make the payment process easy, through our customer event portal! We’re unfortunately unable to accept personal checks at this time.

  • If you’ve got an event, we want to hear about it! We offer our services to any & all events, including:

    • Weddings

    • Birthdays

    • Bachelor/Bachelorette parties

    • Sports events

    • Trade Shows

    • Festivals

    …and many more!

  • Yes, you can! We do offer the option of truck rental, without the purchase of alcohol - you can learn more about our package options via this page.

  • Our standard offering is a plastic, bio-degradable, 12 oz cup. If you find you’d like specific serving materials, just let us know & we’ll be happy to accommodate! We can either purchase the preferred materials (additional fees may be incurred), or you’re welcome to provide us with anything you’d like us to use for serving!

  • Lucky for us, we have very minimal power requirements for our Tap Trucks. Access to a standard 110 Volt power supply is all that’s required for our trucks to be running effectively. :) If you find you’re unable to provide access to a power outlet, we have a portable generator to bring with us for power - just let us know ahead of time & we can accommodate the situation! :)

  • The earlier the better! The more time we have for planning, the more prepared all parties are as the event approaches. :) The absolute latest booking date would be 30 days out from your event, to ensure we have all the time needed for the logistics involved in our Tap Truck event planning process.

  • Upon your initial reachout, we always like to know which truck you may be interested in most! Do note, however, depending on the quantity of events we have during your event date, we may need to choose the best option based on current availability.

  • You better believe it! As long as we have trailer access for drop-off, as well as driving room from the trailer to access the area you’d like the Tap Truck parked, we’re happy to participate in an indoor event! Let’s do this!

  • You got it! If you have certain design elements you’d like to included on the truck, around the truck, or on/near the bar - if you supply it, we display it!

  • We sometimes find in certain event situations that we can accommodate the moving of our Tap Truck vehicles if needed. Our standard practice, however, is to leave our Tap Truck in place, once driven into the spot preferred for your event.

  • You can fill out our comprehensive Event Request Form to speak with us directly…it’s that easy! Now what are you waiting for?!? Let’s party!!
