Steve hand-picks 4 craft beers that tell a coherent story — a brewery spotlight, a style tour, a region to discover. No random assortment. No filler. Just a monthly box with a point of view.
July 2026
Four hops. Four breweries. One epic summer. We dug through the catalog and pulled 4 beers that each tell a different hop story — Florida citrus, New England haze, Texas brute force, and a tart wildcard to reset your palate.
Sunshine State IPA
The anchor. Classic Florida citrus and piney resin with a clean bitter finish.
6.5% ABV · West Coast IPATropical Haze NEIPA
Pillowy mouthfeel, ripe mango and passionfruit. Zero harsh edges — this is the summer sunset beer.
7.0% ABV · New England IPADouble Down DIPA
A bruiser at 8.2% that's somehow crushable. Pineapple, resin, deceptive drinkability.
8.2% ABV · Double IPAHibiscus Gose
Tart, floral, refreshing contrast. The palate cleanser that makes the hop beers taste even better.
4.5% ABV · Gose / Kettle SourHow It Works
No decision fatigue. No scrolling through 200 beers hoping you land on something good. We do the thinking — you do the drinking.
Every month we pick a theme, find 4 beers that fit, and write the story behind them. Brewery history, tasting notes, pairing guide — the whole context.
Your 4 mini kegs arrive in a custom TapDrop box with Steve's story card inside. Every delivery comes with a one-page tasting guide.
The day your box ships, you get an email with the full brewery story, tasting notes, and pairing suggestions. Save it, share it, or just drink.
Why Curation
The best beer you'll ever drink is one you wouldn't have picked yourself. That's what Founder's Pick is for.
We have 16+ SKUs in the catalog. Choosing 4 is exhausting. We take that off your plate — and we make better picks than you'd make under pressure.
Left to our own devices, we reorder the same 3 beers. Founder's Pick forces variety. Some months it'll blow your mind. Every month it'll surprise you.
A random variety pack is just beer. A Founder's Pick box is a thesis. Each selection has a reason — a narrative thread that makes the drinking more interesting.
I started TapDrop because I was bored of the same six beers at the grocery store. There are 10,000 craft breweries in this country and most people will never discover them because discovery is work. Founder's Pick is me doing that work for you — one box at a time.
Pricing
No discount on your first month. This is a premium, curated product — you'll know in the first box whether it's worth it.
