This pickup for hire is capable of serving up all sorts of tasty brews on the go.
Beer On the Go
Vintage pickups are good for a lot of things, but in recent years, we're starting to see more and more repurposed as mobile servers of adult beverages. Case in point - this beautiful 1956 Ford F-350, which has been transformed into a mobile beer truck for hire in Roseburg, Oregon by owner Denise Chavez, who uses it for her business, Classic Brews Mobile Tap Truck.

Unique Conversion
"My husband and I did the design and build for the tap truck. We used local maple milled out of the Glide area. Paul Radon, from Umpqua Tap Cleaning, assisted with running all of the tap lines and fittings. Restoration on the truck was completed in Florence, by the previous owner," Chavez explained to The News-Review.

Love at First Sight
Indeed, this F-350 was already restored when Chavez found it, and it was originally equipped with a hydraulic dump bed. It was also the very first truck Chavez looked at when seeking a mobile beer truck, and it was "love at first sight" for her and her husband.

Beverage of Choice
As for the bar itself, it's constructed from 100-year-old barn wood and can be completely disassembled after each event with ease. Clients can choose which types of beer they'd like to be served at their events, which can and usually does include local breweries, of course.

Successful Debut
"We had an opportunity to pour for a wedding at Faulk Vineyard, Chavez said of her first event. "The event went excellent and was a big hit. The tap truck was a conversation piece, as everyone was curious about the story behind it. The bride and groom took beautiful pictures with the truck that we can’t wait to see. We really appreciated the encouraging feedback the guests shared with us, which makes us inspired for our next event."

Heavy Interest
The cost to rent this cool mobile tap truck varies based on location and other factors, but Chavez admits she's had tremendous interest in the pickup thus far. But considering how cool and unique it is, that doesn't surprise us one bit.
