You may have noticed the trend in craft beers that are taking over the US. More and more bars are stocked with local breweries and to make themselves stand out, they need to have attract tap handles. I’m not sure if this is true for most people but I’ve definitely decided to try a new beer because the tap handle looks really cool.

Tap handles are traditionally carved from wood but many are starting to used injection molded plastic or urethane molding to make custom taps that can be painted or decorated with stickers to make them really stand out.

According the the Brewers Association, The number of barrels of craft beer made in the U.S. has climbed from 4 billion barrels in 2005 to more than 19 billion barrels in 2015. That means a lot more beer taps need to be made as well!
