When something is "on tap", it means it's convenient. Hot water on tap, cold beer on tap, etc. You can extend this to mean you're in a situation where a certain thing is convenient or easy to acquire. Money on tap, love on tap, entertainment on tap...
For your phrase, I'm thinking of bars which might put a different beer on tap every week as a special offer. So as Angela and Jennifer explained, "what's on tap for today?" is basically asking what is planned for today.
