Featuring: Janine “The Tapster” van Wulven
Janine van Wulven, better known as The Tapster, is our youngest General Manager. Janine hails from the Northern ‘Burbs of Cape Town; and true to form, her secret super-power is super-fast speed-talking. As a little girl, Janine dreamed of being in the spotlight – an actress or comedian. So Janine studied a BA (Motion Picture Medium) at AFDA; which put her behind the scenes and not front-and-centre in front of the camera. To keep herself out of trouble, she joined Beerhouse Long Street as a Bar Navigator in October 2013. In 2015 she was promoted to FOH Floor Manager, and a year later; at the ripe old age of 23; Janine was appointed as Beerhouse Long Street’s first female General Manager. The Tapster’s alter-BeerEgo is a Hardcore IPA. Janine and a Hardcore IPA are literally twins – they’re both… hardcore!
3 reasons why Janine loves being the General Manager at Beerhouse Long Street:
1. “The opportunity to grow within a young company.”
2. “The Gees with the customers.”
3. “The family vibe we have with all the staff.”
Janine’s WHY… her reasons for working at Beerhouse are direct – no nonsense here: “Because I get to give and share the Beerhouse experience with the world. It is a unique place to work and I have grown up a lot working for Beerhouse. #MyBloodIsYellow.”
