Tap. Sip. Repeat: Kalamazoo’s First Self-Pour Tap Wall

Kalamazoo knows beer. With craft breweries around virtually every corner, our city’s reputation for great suds is solid. But when we envisioned Crafted Copper, we aimed to elevate the experience even further. That’s why we brought in a self-pour tap wall—the first of its kind in downtown Kalamazoo.

PourMyBeer: The Brains Behind the Taps

Our tap wall is powered by PourMyBeer, the brains and brawn behind modern, hard-wired self-pour systems. The inspiration struck founder Josh Goodman in 2007 at a Baltimore sports bar—frustrated by long waits, he sketched out a better way: let customers serve themselves.

By 2015, those sketches became reality. Goodman flew to Austria to inspect a working prototype of what he calls the “Magic Box,” and soon after, the first batch of 50 units arrived in the U.S.

Today, PourMyBeer systems are trusted by venues worldwide—from bars to food halls—for their durability and effectiveness in delivering operational efficiency without sacrificing customer fun.

How It Works at Crafted Copper

Check in with the host. We’ll start your tab and give you a Crafted Copper wristband.
Scan + sip. Simply scan your wristband at any of our 30 glowing taps.
Pour at will. Fill two ounces or a full pint—the choice is yours.

No waiting, no guessing, and no commitment—just pour your way through and explore.

Why It’s a Game Changer

Test before you commit. Not sure about that hazy IPA? Sample it first—if it’s love, pour more.
You’re in charge. No more “I regret ordering that.” You’re the bartender.
Wide variety. Our taps rotate—local brews, seasonal ciders, wine, even cocktails—from the familiar to the adventurous.
A social experience. It’s part tasting room, part playground—great for dates, groups, or people bursting with recommendations like, “You have to try this.”

The Crafted Copper Twist

This isn’t just a tap wall—it’s the engine of our crafted experience:

Duckpin lanes within reach, so you can sip while you play.
Creative signature cocktails, for when you’re ready to shift styles.

Kalamazoo’s known for beer. Crafted Copper’s where the culture evolves.
