If you’ve ever pictured yourself pulling up to a wedding, corporate event, or festival in a vintage truck with taps on the side, this might be your sign. As we head into 2026, there’s no better time to explore what becoming a Tap Truck licensee could look like for you.
New Year, New Ventures:
A new year is all about solutions. New goals. New energy. New ways to build something that feels aligned with your lifestyle.
Owning a Tap Truck isn’t just about serving drinks; it’s about creating experiences, building community, and running a business that’s as rewarding as it is fun. Our licensees come from diverse backgrounds, but they share a passion for people, events, and doing things a little differently.
If you’re looking for a business that gives you flexibility while still allowing room to grow, Tap Truck checks all the boxes.
What Is Tap Truck, Really?
Tap Truck USA is a vintage-style mobile bar business built around restored vehicles outfitted with professional draft systems. Licensees serve beer, wine, cocktails, cold brew, kombucha, and non-alcoholic beverages at weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals, and more.
But Tap Truck is more than a bar on wheels; it’s a showstopper. Each truck is custom-built or restored to meet operating specs, combining old-school charm with modern functionality. Whether you start with a pre-built truck or restore one of your own, HQ provides hands-on guidance throughout the entire process.
Do You Need Experience?
Short answer: no.
While experience in hospitality, bartending, or events can be helpful, it’s not required. What matters most is your drive, organization, and passion for creating memorable experiences.
Tap Truck USA provides training, tools, and ongoing support to help you feel confident running your business, from operations and logistics to marketing and event execution. If you love connecting with people and bringing a vision to life, you’re already off to a great start.
