Bottled vs. Tap Water: 5 Key Differences You Should Know
When it comes to staying hydrated, not all water is created equal. As both a brewer and chemical engineer here in Kansas City, I’ve spent years thinking about water quality,
"For me, brewing is both a craft and a conversation. I love experimenting with new styles and ingredients, but I always come back to what makes a beer memorable — balance, freshness, and a little personality. At Border, we’re constantly exploring new ideas while staying true to our love for small-batch brewing. Whether it's a bold IPA or a smooth, drinkable lager, I hope every sip gives you a taste of what we’re all about."

First, make sure the handle on the coupler is in the up position. That’s the key to avoiding a beer explosion before the party even starts.
Next, fit the coupler into the keg’s valve and give it a slight twist-about an eighth of a turn
—just enough to lock it under the teeth. Don’t overtighten it.
Then, press the handle down until it clicks.
That’s it—your keg’s tapped and ready to pour.
To untap it, just pull the handle out, twist it back, and lift it off. Same motion whether you’re using a party pump or a full kegerator setup—it’s the same type of coupler either way.
If you’re not sure what kind of tap you’ve got, check out our other video where I break down the different types of beer taps. Knowing that before your next party can save you a lot of foam and frustration.

I don’t have a problem with kids in breweries.
What I do have a problem with is parents who act like the brewery is their living room.
When I see kids running wild in a taproom, I don’t blame the kids—they’re just being kids. I actually love the vibe when families come through. It reminds me of the German beer garden culture, where drinking isn’t about getting wasted—it’s about community, quality, and showing your kids what responsible alcohol use actually looks like.
But the moment parents check out and stop parenting? That’s when it becomes a problem.
You’re not at home. You’re not at daycare. You’re in a public space, and your kids are part of that space now.
So yes, bring your kids. But don’t forget you’re still a parent. Make sure your family is adding to the experience, not making it worse for everyone else.
