The Busted Cup Taproom & Meat Market Celebrates Official Opening with Ribbon Cutting on August 3
Macomb, IL — July 24, 2026 — The wait is over! The Busted Cup Taproom & Meat Market, Macomb’s newest destination for craft beverages, is excited to officially open its doors with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, August 3, followed by its first day of business beginning at 4:00 p.m.
An extension of The Busted Cup Brewery in Burlington, IA, The Busted Cup Taproom & Meat Market brings together exceptional craft beverages and locally produced meats in a welcoming college-town atmosphere. Rooted in the brewery's passion for quality and craftsmanship, the taproom offers guests a place to relax, connect, and enjoy a unique experience.
The taproom features 20 rotating house-brewed beers and handcrafted keg cocktails, while serving classic cocktails and a selection of specialty shots.
While the focus is on great brews and gathering with friends, guests can also enjoy a simple, high-quality food menu featuring build-your-own meat platters with locally produced meats from our sister company in Roseville, Illinois, paired with a variety of flavorful sides.
Guests can also enjoy a spacious outdoor patio, comfortable indoor seating, and entertainment including cornhole, darts, and electronic tabletop games, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere for friends, families, and visitors alike.
Adjacent to the taproom, the Meat Market offers handcrafted favorites including specialty bacon, summer sausages, beef sticks, and other locally produced smoked and cured meats. Rotating selections and seasonal specialties ensure there's always something new for customers to discover and take home.
"We're excited to open our doors and welcome the community to experience everything The Busted Cup Taproom & Meat Market has to offer," said owners Brandon and Kathy Bentz. "Whether you're joining us for a fresh pint, a handcrafted cocktail, a casual meal, or shopping our meat market, we hope this becomes a place where people gather, connect, and create lasting memories."
The celebration continues Saturday, August 22, from Noon to 4:00 p.m., with a Grand Opening Celebration Event featuring fun for all ages. Visitors can enjoy complimentary samples, pick up free Busted Cup swag while supplies last, challenge the brewer to a game of cornhole, and register for a variety of gift baskets and door prizes throughout the afternoon.
