Create your own custom beer tap handle!  We have all you need here to customize your kegerator, home bar, pub, or restaurant with the best available high-quality beer tap handles.  Choose from full-color label tap handles, our high-end, deeply-engraved and hand-painted hardwood custom tap handles, or a hybrid version combining the best of both techniques.  All taps are fully functional, and ready to be screwed into your keg faucet, or proudly displayed as a trophy or award.  These tap handles fit most beer-dispensing appliances (3/8 inch industry-standard fittings), including professional bar hardware and standard US kegerators.  We use the same stock handles that many breweries use; you've seen some of them at your local pub!

This numbered list will help you place your custom tap handle order with us, and hopefully answer your questions along the way.  We've provided several pages of information regarding your available choices, and have posted nearly 300 photographs of examples of our work, to help you better understand what is possible, or help you realize that more is possible than you think!  Let's start making your personalized tap handle!

  1. What kind of custom tap handle do you want?  We offer Engraved, Labeled, and Hybrid Engraved/Labeled taps, all of which can feature your custom text and our catalog graphics or graphics you provide.  Prices are clearly labeled on the information pages for those customization choices.  Add shipping ($6 for one handle, $10 total for more than one), optional silver hardware color ($2-$4) and optional 2nd side engraving ($20) for the total price of the handle.

  2. What tap handle style do you want?  Your custom beer tap handle can be made with any of our stock handle styles, all of them hardwood and of high quality.

  3. Do you want a graphic on your custom keg tap handle?  You can choose a graphic from our catalog, or submit your own illustration.  If you want us to use your graphic, please e-mail it to us; we can accept large files, so send the best version of it.

  4. What text do you want to appear on your handle?  We can engrave as much text as you require, and we can even help you with choosing the right phrase, beer name, or slogan to create a perfect personalized beer tap handle.

  5. What font or fonts would you like us to use for your text?  We offer several choices to get you started, but have many more available.  If you have a special request, just ask!

  6.  How would you like your text and graphic arranged?  We'll add the text for you, curving it around the graphic you've selected or leaving it straight, arranging monograms, and performing other conventional and interesting acts of text layout.  Several typical layout styles are on display here:

  7. What color or colors do you want us to use for your text and graphic?  Gold and silver paint both have fine metallic sparkles, while black, white, red, green, and blue are the other typical requests; we can usually mix, by eye, custom colors for you.  Take a look at our example galleries (Engraved Custom Tap Handles, Labeled Custom Tap Handles); we've got them for every handle style.  You can see hundreds of examples of what various colors look like painted into engraved markings on the style of handle you selected.

  8. What color hardware do you want?  If the style of handle you select comes with a finial, ferrule, or both, your choice is gold or silver tone.  Our supplier of stock handles charges us $2 extra for each silver color piece ($4 for a handle that has both finial and ferrule), so we pass on that $2-per-silver-tone-part cost to you if you elect silver, but we don't further mark it up.

  9. Do you want anything on the back of the handle?  We'll make a copy of the front design on the back, or add a message to the back, for only $20 more.  The handles we use are all double-sided.

  10. How many of these handles do you want?  While most customers order just one, we do offer bulk pricing starting at 3 handles, as long as they are all duplicates.  Most of the work, and therefore expense, of your custom beer tap handle lies in setting it up for you for the first time, but copies are much easier and faster for us to make.  Two or more handles ship for a flat rate of $10.

  11. How fast do you want it shipped?  We use USPS Priority Mail, which usually takes 2-3 Post Office days (including Saturdays) in transit.  You can always try asking us to make your handle by a certain date (we'll make every effort to do so, but will let you know if it is unlikely), so that it will reach you in time.  If you need it even faster, we'll charge you $22 instead of the standard $6, and ship it Express, which typically knocks one day off the time.

  12. How do I place the order or ask questions?  E-mail us.  We'll send you digital mockup proofs, along with the answers to your questions.  When everything is set, we'll e-mail you the Google Checkout invoice that you can pay by card.
