The Little Red Truck
Clark Brewer Photography
The Tipple team was introduced to The Little Red Truck in the Spring of 2018 and immediately fell in love. This fire engine red 1925 Model T pickup truck has a rich history, eventually finding its way to the 'burgh through Connecticut.
More than 60 years ago, The Little Red Truck was found in a Midwest barn in good condition. Over time it was gradually brought back to its initial splendor using original hardware. From there, the truck went to live in a Texas museum for 10 years. It was sold in 1974 to the Hasek family of Illinois. It suffered minor damage to the bed during a tornado in the '80's, but was soon repaired. It brought plenty of joy to the family as it was passed down from father to son, and provided countless rides to the grandchildren.
In 2000, The Little Red Truck was disassembled and underwent a massive restoration that included rebuilding both the engine and transmission. The upper part of the cab is new, but the rest of the truck (including the sheet metal, windows, and hardware) is from the mid-1920's! The Little Red Truck ventured to Connecticut in 2012 with a different owner, and made appearances in numerous parades and exhibitions.
As the first Tipple truck, we are over the moon excited to bring this special piece of Americana to your event. With the addition of our custom tap box, The Little Red Truck is sure to continue its legacy by bringing joy to you and yours!
Tap Barrels

We have TWO puncheon barrels that were at one time used for cognac and wine. The Mystic Barrels team helped us source the most perfect barrels for our idea. The custom red tap tower on each barrel provides that extra flair for any event. Holding two different products each, they are perfect for smaller events or to compliment the Little Red Truck. These cute little guys aren’t so little - they are too girthy to fit through a standard man door, but they are perfect for outdoor setups!
Their dainty little sister barrel will be making her presence known later this year. She’ll be able to hold one product and shimmy on through your front door!
Tap Bicycle

This beauty is our newest addition and has become a Tipple Team favorite. Our tap bike pours two different, smaller sized products (she’s perfect for wine and cocktails) and easily fits indoors. The unique tap tower adds an elegant flair to her. She’s perfect for bridal and baby showers, cocktail receptions, birthday parties - any and all celebrations!
