TapDrop is a turnkey craft beer amenity for Airbnb & VRBO hosts. We deliver, restock, and handle 21+ compliance. You get the reviews.
Why it works
A kegerator sets your listing apart from hundreds of other "cozy retreats" in your market — and pays for itself.
Premium amenities command premium prices. Hosts in our network add $20–40/night after listing the kegerator — more than covering the $59/mo rental.
A kegerator with rotating local craft beer is a talking point. Guests Instagram it, mention it in reviews, and tell friends. You get free marketing without lifting a finger.
Guest scans the QR card to order a refill. It ships during your gap days. You get a single monthly invoice — no phone calls, no logistics, no guessing what beer is stocked.
Host margin calculator
Your nightly rate, your occupancy. See exactly what TapDrop costs vs. what it adds to your bottom line.
Conservative estimate. Amenity fee covers TapDrop cost; rate uplift (hosts typically add $15–30/night to listings with kegerators) is upside on top. Your market, season, and listing quality all affect actual results.
Host packages
Every package includes kegerator rental, your first keg, the QR refill card, and setup instructions. No long-term contract.

5+ properties. Custom pricing, Net 30 billing, and a dedicated account manager built around your portfolio.
What guests see
A kegerator on the patio is the kind of detail guests mention by name. These are the kinds of reviews hosts in our network receive after adding draft beer as an amenity.
"Hands down the most memorable Airbnb stay I've had. The kegerator on the back porch was stocked with a local IPA — we sat outside both nights just because of it. Already recommended this place to three friends."
"This property went straight into my favorites. The craft beer tap was a total surprise — we had a stout and a wheat on rotation the whole week. The host thought of everything. Rebooked for New Year's already."
"The kegerator alone is worth booking this place. We had a beach lager on tap all weekend — it was the first thing our group asked about when they saw the listing. Honestly, it sold the trip."

How it works
Four steps. One monthly invoice. No logistics headaches.
We ship the kegerator and your first keg. You plug it in. We send a QR card to leave on the unit — 15 minutes, done.
Guests scan the QR card to browse beers and order a refill — charged to your TapDrop host account. You choose the approval threshold.
Refills arrive during your gap days. No host coordination required. 21+ ID verification handled on every delivery.
Pass the keg cost to guests via a standard amenity or cleaning fee. Many hosts charge $10–20/stay and come out ahead on keg costs alone.
Insurance & compliance
Hosts rent the equipment and provide an amenity. We're the licensed shipper who handles all regulatory requirements — you're providing hospitality, not running a bar.
We verify age via Veratad AgeID on every order. Deliveries are never left unattended. You can also print guest-facing "21+ property" signage (included in your host kit).
TapDrop holds the alcohol shipping licenses. You hold the kegerator. Your liability is the same as having a coffee maker — you're providing an appliance, not selling alcohol.
Providing a kegerator as an amenity is standard hospitality. You're not selling alcohol to guests — you're offering an appliance, exactly like a wine fridge.
Multi-state portfolios supported. Properties in FL, TX, CA, NY — all covered under a single host account. We adjust for state-specific shipping regulations automatically.
The ROI math
Single Property plan is $79/mo. Here's the arithmetic on whether it pays for itself.
Illustrative estimates based on host network data. Actual results vary by market, listing quality, and occupancy. The kegerator doesn't guarantee reviews — it just gives guests one more thing to love.
What guests see
Every host kit includes a downloadable guest welcome card. Print it, laminate it, leave it next to the kegerator. We handle the rest.
🍺 What's on: Check the label on the keg — your host chose this month's beer just for you.
🔄 Want a refill? Scan the QR code to order another keg. Ships within 1–2 days.
🪪 Age 21+ required for delivery. Keep your ID handy — we verify on drop-off.
Portfolio Operator plan hosts get a custom-branded version with your property name at the top. Looks like you thought of everything — because you did.
Host is responsible for ensuring guests using the kegerator are 21+. TapDrop provides compliance language, signage templates, and ID verification on all deliveries — the host is responsible for communicating the 21+ requirement to guests at the property level.
