About Tip Top Taps

Tip Top Taps was founded by Marty Koger of Marko Petroleum in 2015. He spent months transforming an old BP gas station into the original Tip Top Taps location.  After 7 years of operation he sold the property and went looking for a new site to relocate.

In 2023, he reimagined Tip Top Taps as both a growler store and taproom, offering a classy, comfortable space for craft beer enthusiasts in downtown Augusta, Georgia.  Tip Top Taps has reopened as JB’s Tap Yard located in the beautiful JB Whites Building in the 900 Block of Broad Street.

Our Products

We call the craft beer tap wall a “Twenty beer buffet”.  The taps are organized to assist customers with their choices.  There are 5 IPAs, 5 Belgian styles and imports, 5 regionals, and 5 seasonals.

In addition to the craft beer wall there is now an “ALSO Wall” with prosecco and wine cocktails, mead, and non-alcoholic punch, iced tea, and sodas.

Try Before You Buy

You may also “try before you buy” at Tip Top Taps. Ask our knowledgeable barkeeps for a sample of any variety of beer we have on tap to make sure you’re buying something you will enjoy.  They can offer recommendations based on your personal tastes as well.
