TAP 2023

The City of Shakopee’s Celebration of Beer and Innovation

On September 9th, 2023, TAP 2023 transformed downtown Shakopee into the most happenin’ spot on Earth!

Hosted in partnership between the City of Shakopee, the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce and Shakopee Public Utilities, TAP 2023 featured unique beers by 40 Minnesotan breweries including August Schell, Back Channel, Bald Man, Castle Danger, Fat Pants, Gambit, Inbound and Indeed, as well as Shakopee’s own Badger Hill, Brewhall and Mana. At 6pm Shakopee Chevrolet proudly presented A Salute to the Music of Prince, a free concert by the inestimably talented performers of Chase & Ovation.

TAP 2023 also featured several of the innovative businesses that have turned Shakopee into one of the Twin Cities metro’s leading economic powerhouses, such as Steelhead Outdoors, which designs and manufactures high-tech modular gun safes; REMastered Sleep, which has developed the world’s first water bottle that fights snoring through tongue exercise; Otso Cycles, which makes versatile, performance-first bikes inspired by the spirit of the Northwoods; and Written Hugs Designs, which creates thoughtful and sensitive greeting cards.

“We’re grateful to all of our neighbors in Eden Prairie who joined us for TAP 2023,” said Michael Kerski, director of planning and development for the City of Shakopee. “We’re blessed to have provided a strong economic foothold for so many great businesses, and to showcase them to our community during our thrilling annual extravaganza. If you weren’t able to attend this year, then let me be the first to wholeheartedly invite you to TAP 2024!”
