Event of the Month Highlight

Tap Truck MidWest Serving at an awesome event

 

Get ready to hear about an amazing event! Tap Truck MidWest had the opportunity to serve at Open Arms of Minnesota for an employee appreciation event, and it sounded amazing!  We learned about their exciting event from our Newsletter survey last month, and we couldn't be prouder of our team! 

In their personal blog, Tap Truck Midwest wrote, “We recently had the pleasure of serving Open Arms of MN a second time for their ‘TOAST’ celebration. An event created to celebrate the amazing volunteer community supporting their nonprofit. And what a time it was!”  Nicole then explained to us, “Open Arms of MN is a nonprofit that creates medically tailored meals for those with terminal illness, had their company employee appreciation event and we had the privilege of serving those who serve others. No joke, these are people who love to serve others and have been so welcoming. By far our favorite event this far and we hope to continue to partner with them and serve them”.

Tap Truck Midwest's experience with Open Arms of MN exemplifies their commitment to serving not just beverages, but also the community. Their enthusiastic involvement in such meaningful events is truly admirable. We look forward to hearing more about their future collaborations and the positive impact they continue to make.

Branch of the Month Highlight

Tap Truck NC, Fleet of Tap Trucks

 

This month, we are proud to announce Tap Truck North Carolina as our branch of the month! Over the rolling hills and sandy shores are the infamous Tap Truck NC owners: Chris, Jim, Tonya, and Tim who all believe success is better shared with other people over a nice cold brew! The bond between these two couples has flourished for nearly two decades and gives the saying “never go into business with family or friends” a run for its money. Chris, Jim, Tonya, and Tim have successfully owned five businesses together, Tap Truck North Carolina being their final one. How lucky are we?! The gang explains that “In 2018, we owned Raleigh Brews Cruise (plus a couple of kid businesses… we’ve always said kids will drive you to drink). Our Raleigh Brews Cruise clients asked if we’d put kegs on the bus (no), but it got us thinking. We’re always looking for something new, found Tap Truck USA, and gave Corbin and Taylor a call”. 

The Tap Truck North Carolina team operates with five Tap Trucks: a 1946 Chevy Panel Truck (Ramona), 1954 Ford Panel Truck (Mo), 1935 all-original Ford Stakebed (Peter), 1951 Ford Panel Truck (Richie), and a 1946 Ford Panel Truck (Tully)! With five free-flowing taps on each of their trucks, Team NC is a force to be reckoned with! 

We are so honored to have Tap Truck North Carolina a part of our Tap Family! Time and time again, this branch dedicates their hearts to serving the community with the best drinks and fun around! We hope to see an announcement for an incoming sixth Tap Truck in the future! ;)

Tap Truck USA Popular Social Media Post

One of our focuses over the past few months is growing our Tap Truck USA Pinterest page. We have seen a lot of growth with just some simple tactics such as consistency, quality, tags, and video. Last month we published one of our reels showing a Tap Truck serving at a baby shower, but with a unique twist, the truck was filling baby bottles with beer! Although this short clip may not have as many impressions as an Instagram or Facebook platform, it did very well for Pinterest. We have noticed our Pinterest content generates much more engagement and drives traffic directly to the website! If you are interested, check out the post here!
