What are we really offering at The Tap Exchange? Sure, we have a nice selection of beer and wine and we do have some pretty good food, too. We have local art on the walls and will soon have local musicians in the corner. You can always catch a game or other sporting event, as well. But is that what we really offer? No.
I believe what The Tap Exchange really offers is community. One of Webster’s definitions is “an interacting population of various kinds of individuals in a common location.” That’s us! Daily I am privy to conversations between strangers that develop into conversations between friends. It’s a thrill to see new friendships being forged around something they share in common: life experiences, careers, sports teams or simply just enjoying the same beer.
We are blessed to already have a large number of “regulars” who have embraced The Tap Exchange as “their place”. I’ll never tire of starting to pour their favorite beer before they even sit down. When they walk through the door of the pub it’s as if they just walked through the door at my house. Community: that’s what is offered at The Tap Exchange.
And on a serious note: two guys walk into a bar; the third guy ducks.
