The Beer Steer: A trained micro‑mini cow for cocktail hour
A trained micro‑mini cow strolls through your event during happy hour, interacting with guests and — if you choose — delivering drinks from beverage baskets attached to his sides, instantly becoming a crowd favorite.
Alpacas for relaxed, photo‑friendly moments
Alpacas are offered as an alternative or complement to the Beer Steer; they mingle with guests for photos and interaction but do not carry beverages.
Handled, contained, and venue‑ready
Two professional handlers accompany the animals to manage interactions, setup, and cleanliness — the cow wears a discreet waste‑collection bag and handlers address any animal waste quickly so the experience runs smoothly.
What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
The hour is staged as a cocktail‑hour attraction: animals arrive with handlers, circulate through the guest area for photos and mingling, and then depart after the booked time. The Beer Steer can carry beverages in side baskets if desired; alpacas perform the same guest‑facing role without carrying drinks.
