Double digit annual growth in the craft beer market has resulted and shows no signs of slowing down. As beer geeks and beer novices alike have a need to experience new types and flavors of craft beer, the Brass Tap is a perfect place for them to be regulars with our Brew Crew Loyalty program.

Training and Support
The Brass Tap provides an extensive training and support program to help you every step of the way. Our beer training is mirrored from the Level 1 Cicerone Certification program to prepare you and your staff to complete your certification. Our training starts four weeks at our corporate location for your General Manager and Shift Manager.
