Tap Social Movement grew out of a passion for great beer and social justice. We’re a social enterprise founded in Oxford in 2016 by a small group of young professionals from a range of backgrounds across both the criminal justice system and the hospitality sector. We were determined to do something about the way the UK’s broken prison system and exclusionary labour market combine to lock ex-offenders and victims of crime alike in a vicious cycle of reoffending. In our first few years of operation we have worked with dozens of ex-offenders and prisoners on day-release to brew our criminally good beer for an increasingly broad and loyal audience. We’re proud to say that several of those who joined us from prison are still permanent members of the team, and many more have found sustainable employment elsewhere with our help. Over that time we’ve enjoyed awards and recognition for both our delicious beer and our real social impact. Our beer cans are complete with labels featuring artwork from prison artists and engaging facts about our broken penal system and how we can all contribute towards fixing it. Drink criminally good beer and make a difference. We have four community focused hospitality venues. The first is our taproom in Botley - which houses our original brew kit and a large event space. The second, the White House by Tap Social, is a community cafe, bar and kitchen opened in 2021 in central Oxford, the third is the Tap Social bar at Lock29 in Banbury, and the fourth is the Market Tap in Oxford's historic Covered Market. In 2022, we opened a brand new wholesale bakery and cafe, Proof Social Bakehouse, which creates a range of sourdough breads and artisan pastries that can be found in our own venues and across Oxfordshire.
