    If you'd like to keep our staff member on hand for the duration of the event, we can add that. Otherwise, phone in and we'll trouble shoot.

    Want to use our staff/kegs? We'll be happy to be of service.

  • ETC requires signed contracts and a 50% deposit to reserve your event date on our calendar. You'll also have to place a 50% Damage Deposit, which is refundable as long as you follow the contract requirements.

    Reach out to us for a custom proposal to get your paperwork started.

    Reservations are taken on a first come, first serve basis.

The Taps

  • Bette has 5 taps. She can pull beer, red/white wine, champagne, jun/kombucha, soda, sparkling teas and/or water. Stay in one lane or mix it up, we just need to know ahead of time so we can pressurize the taps accordingly.

  • You will be responsible for ordering, scheduling and paying for the kegs for your event. Pricing includes keg pickup/drop off at 1 location. Adding multiple locations will incur additional fees depending on proximity to Kona.

    Want to pickup/drop off your own kegs at the event venue? Not a problem, and we'll give you a discount. Just make sure you keep those kegs held tight and on ice until we arrive.

    Filling our kegs with bottles? Let's meet up to receive those bottles, and we'll fill the kegs for you.

  • For Beer/Seltzer/Cider/Jun, you'll need to purchase kegs. You can select kegs from several locations in Kona (Kona Brewing Company, Ola, KTA) or Waimea (Big Island Brew Haus, Waimeli). We suggest 1/6 Barrel Kegs or Corny Kegs.

    For Wine/Champagne/Soda, you buy the bottles and get them to us, and we'll be happy to fill our kegs for service.

  • That all depends on what you're serving. And remember, there's always some loss when pulling from taps.

    1/6 Barrel Kegs will result in about 50 12oz glasses Beer/Seltzer/Cider, Soda, Jun or Kombucha.

    Corny Kegs will result in about 120 5 oz glasses of Wine or Champagne.

  • That all depends on your guest count, the duration of your event, and what other beverages are being served. We figure 1 drink per hour per guest (some will drink more, some will drink less). Once you reserve your event date with us, we'll be able to give you these schematics. In many cases, you won't need full kegs (of wine or bubbles) for your event!

  • Keeping your guests hydrated should be a high priority. You can save a tap for water if you like. Otherwise, we can add a Glass Dispenser of water on a shelf/table with glassware. Pricing will be dependent on duration, guest count, and vessel choice. Or ask your caterer to handle hydration.

  • You're in luck! Our sister company, Spirited Cocktail Catering, specializes in craft cocktail service. Book us both for the same event and receive a discount ;)

ETC’s trailer, Bette

  • This is a two-part answer. We'll need enough room to place Bette with a tow vehicle. The physical location for the trailer setup space must be at least 15 wide x 15’ deep x 11’ high. We can only set up on a flat surface.

  • Nope! Bette is reliant on battery power, so there are no cords or noise from a generator. And she generates her own light for your guests and our staff once the sun sets for the evening.

  • From the taps will hang labels on cork coasters with the company logo from whense the kegs/bottles came.

    Have another idea? Let us know.

  • If you'd like to order custom signage/stickers, have your florist add foliage, your designer/planner add balloons or a lounge area, go for it!

    Don't have a florist/designer/planner? We've got recs ;)

  • Not to worry, we've got you (and us) covered. We carry a standard $1 million General Liability policy, as well as a $1 million Commercial Auto policy. Plus, your venue should have your back.

  • ETC does not carry a liquor license, nor are we legally required to for our services. Your venue should have you covered for this. Please note that Hawai’i County Law prohibits us from supplying the liquor for your event. 

    This saves you $$$. We'll give you a shopping list, you do the shopping, we do the serving. Everybody wins.

    If you're a non-profit, let's talk. You get the liquor license for your event, we'll help raise your funds.

    And we can always serve NA's at festivals/farmer's markets.
