Beer Tap Handles - Best Setup You've Seen (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

Good talk about Breweries in the Best Craft Brewery In Each State thread.

I said Burial in Asheville was my favorite in North Carolina.

Topic veered into Tap Handles. Burial's are awesome and fit perfectly with their vibe.

What other places have you been to that have a great set up for Tap Handles?

Please post links to pics here.

Revolution might win this..

 

[Joe Bryant]

Agreed. Those are rad.

Mine say Miller Lite, Coors Light, Budweiser, Guinness, and a German Grolsch. Not a beer snob.  Aside from the Grolsch, that is.

Fette Sau BBQ in Brooklyn is second to Burial for me.

BBQ was ok. Tap wall was killer.

Although it's pretty easy to see my tastes I guess.

Not sure if its an original concept or not, but I do like the driftwood use by Elder Brewing in Joliet, Il

Love it.

Found this. Thrillist is killing it for beer I guess. It's a few years old. https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/the-best-craft-beer-tap-handles-in-america

And I guess it sort of goes on two paths. The thrillist list is mostly breweries that have specific tap handles for their beers and send them out so bars can use them on the tap wall. Those are cool. The 3 Sheeps and the Sweetwater are especially cool.

But I think I like the original one of a kind stuff from Fete Sau or Burial better.

What do you think? Do you care? When I talk to other people, I think I'm the only one who cares about stuff like this.

My God, I'm thirsty.  What time is it?

I have vintage PBR tap handles from my grandfather that have actual blue ribbons in them.

ETA: pretty much exactly like this.

One thing I liked about the pubs in Dublin is there wasn’t a whole lot of tap handle peacocking. There were small black nubs... the barkeep pulled them and beer came out. 

This crap reminds me of the movie Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels... when Jason Stratham ducks into a pub (that happens to be a Samoan pub) and orders a cocktail. They hand him some absurd drink with crazy assortment of garnish in a goofy glass... he looks at it with disgust saying something about “I just asked for a cocktail... you could fall in love with an orangutan in there”. 

Also.... get off my lawn.

I have a 1/2 BBL Brewery setup in my garage and have 8 taps (3 in my bar, 4 in the garage keezer and 1 nitro in a standalone kegerator).  I made my own tap handles with blocks of wood and one side with blackboard paint so I can write the contents in chalk.   

They are functional but when I look at these I think I need to step up my game...

Also not a beer snob, but have OCD so have to note that Grolsch is Dutch.
