Taprooms
The power to sample freely
Thanks to the craft movement, taprooms and tasting rooms are on the rise. Nielson data says 42% of U.S. consumers are visiting taprooms more than they did the year before, and the key reason they’re coming back is to taste and try a wide spectrum of beers. That second part may not be surprising, but it does tell us that people like to try things.
With iPourIt self-pour systems, you can give customers the ability to try, test, taste, sip, and sample as they please. But now it’s on their tab, not yours.

Tap selection tips for taprooms
While sampling is a huge part of the self-pour experience, our data shows that “loyalist” or traditional lagers are the top-seller across the board. This is a must-have.
Hard seltzers are hot! So is hard cider and kombucha. We recommend reserving a few taps.
Our data shows that female customers are less price sensitive and tend to go for premium products like red and white wine. One or two of each will do the trick.
Use the TapVision™ Business Intelligence tool to see what customers are drinking and which slow-moving products need to be swapped out.
