We’ve got such a fabulous community that has supported us from day one, and helped us grow from our first site to two more. We are so grateful for the local support we’ve received and love being part of this wonderful county.
– Tess Taylor, Co-Founder & Director
Tap Social is my favourite place in Oxford with hands down the best beers. Tess and the team are amazing, and it’s great seeing Tap Social grow year-on-year. I only wish I lived close enough to walk!
– Matt Eastland-Jones, Owner at Story Ninety-Four
TAP Social is nailing it (though I don’t use nails), with great tasting beer and a clear social mission to help those humans chewed up by the prison system to fulfill their amazing potential. Thanks for being such an inspiring example, especially to all of us in the business of making the world radically better.
– Michael Buick, Owner at Pegg Furniture
Tap Social have been so supportive of Cranston Pickles, having me cook up street food regularly and host supperclubs at their Taproom – they are doing such amazing work through their social enterprise too. And of course, while brewing tasty tasty beers! It’s amazing seeing the work they are doing and watching them grow at their different venues – all unique and great in their own ways!
– Fiona Cranston, Owner at Cranston Pickles
I love Tap Social. The concept of providing ex-offenders with training and employment opportunities whilst making great beer and selling it in a lovely venue is brilliant.
– Liz Moore, Owner at Refills by Beez
We love TAP Social! Tap Social provide fun party nights whilst doing fantastic work to provide routes to work for prisoners and prison leavers.
– Yasmin Spark, Owner at Align Events
We’re huge fans of Tap Social Movement and everything that they do – fantastic product, beautiful packaging and a great cause. We’ve stocked their beer since they first started brewing!
– Amy Walters, Programme & Marketing Manager at The North Wall Arts Centre
Tap Social are another Oxford based social enterprise that support ex-offenders. The work they do is amazing and their beer is banging too!
– Dickon Morris, Co-founder at NewGround Coffee
We love Tap Social and have done lots of our own socialising there! A while back we even sponsored the building of the stage at the tap room so they can host live music and comedy.
