Frequently asked questions
-
A burro is another name for a donkey! Elvis is actually a miniature donkey, so he's about the size of a large dog.
-
Mostly, be cute! They wear a pack saddle with cooler boxes attached to it that you can fill with any kind of beverage (or even party favors or other goodies!) and the burro acts as a waiter "serving" you up your drink of choice - and of course lots of cuddles and photo ops!
-
We do not sell drinks. The venue or client provides all beverages and ice.
-
We are fully insured for this service, and have special tack to ensure our burro doesn't make a mess. But it is good practice to ask your event venue for approval prior to booking for all vendors you might hire, including our beer burro.
-
We provide everything needed for our beer burro's outfit! We have several options that you can choose from to best suit your event.

Generally speaking, donkeys can pull about twice their body weight across flat, even ground. As for what they can withstand on their back, if we stick to the standard a burro should carry no more the 20%-25% of their body weight. Elvis might seem small, but he is quite strong and can actually pull a cart with an adult man in it! We will discuss with you what the cooler box weight limits are depending on what you want in them.
