A new platform that aims to streamlined beer ordering, curated selections and offer reliable delivery has been launched.

According to the founders of Hop Taps, the platform started with a simple yet ambitious vision: to revolutionize the craft beer distribution industry.

They said: “Born from the frustrations and inefficiencies witnessed by our founder, we set out to create a marketplace that prioritizes the needs of both brewers and pubs. Our journey began in 2024, amidst the bustling craft beer scene of London, driven by a passion to streamline the way craft beer is delivered and enjoyed across the UK.

“At Hop Taps, we connect exceptional breweries with the vibrant pub scene through a streamlined, reliable, and cost-effective distribution model. Unlike traditional wholesalers, our innovative platform allows for direct interactions between producers and buyers, ensuring quality and freshness are maintained from keg to glass.

“Our services include scheduled delivery days, consolidated shipments, and professional handling—each tailored to make the distribution process as smooth and efficient as possible.

“What sets Hop Taps apart is not just our commitment to reducing costs and improving logistics but also our dedication to sustainability and community. By using eco-friendly delivery methods and supporting local breweries, we’re helping to reduce the carbon footprint associated with beer distribution.

“Furthermore, our unique sales approach is designed to respect our customers’ time and needs, avoiding the high-pressure tactics often seen in this industry.”

They added: “Our mission at Hop Taps is clear: to support the growth and success of breweries and pubs throughout the UK. By improving margins, reducing waste, and cutting down on unnecessary logistics, we aim to foster a healthier, more sustainable craft beer industry. We believe that with the right support, breweries can thrive, pubs can delight more customers, and beer lovers can enjoy an ever-growing selection of great brews.”
