The editorial take
Just The Tap runs a 24-tap self-pour beer and cider wall where a key fob charges you by the ounce, so you can take a small taste test without committing to a full pour. The current list carries 19 items with 8 more on deck, spanning Irish red ale, imperial stout, American porter, IPA, hazy pale ale, wheat beer, saison, Japanese lager, Czech pilsner, and multiple ciders from Washington, Oregon, and beyond. Named pours include Bodhizafa IPA, Cavatica Stout, and Dragontail IPA. A 0.5% ABV non-alcoholic IPA is also on the wall.
- What should I order?
- Start with Bodhizafa IPA from Georgetown Brewing Company, then compare it against Dragontail IPA from Icicle Brewing Company. For a darker pour, Cavatica Stout from Fort George Brewery is an 8.8% ABV imperial stout. Excelsior Imperial Apple from Schilling Cider covers the cider side, and Run Wild is the non-alcoholic option.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants to compare several beer styles side by side without committing to a full pour. The by-the-ounce key fob format suits drinkers who like small taste tests, and the range from Japanese lager to imperial stout gives both hop-focused and malt-focused drinkers something to work with.
- When should I go?
- The self-pour wall is the main draw at any point in the visit, so it works as a stop for a tasting flight built one pull at a time. The by-the-ounce charge makes it easy to sample a few styles rather than settle on one.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The self-pour system charges by the ounce, so the total depends on how many pulls you take and which taps you choose. There is no posted tap pricing in the current list.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 24-tap self-pour wall with a wooden build, lined-up taps, and labels, operated by key fob and charged by the ounce. The current list holds 19 items with 8 on deck, and the by-the-ounce format allows a quick pull for a small taste test that does not count as a full pour.
