Darren from Glenbrook Brewing contacted Knockout Designs about creating a private label tap handle for Arthur’s Tavern. Designing a custom laser engraved tap handle for Arthur’s Tavern was an exciting opportunity to showcase the collaboration between the Tavern and Glenbrook Brewing. Arthur’s Tavern proudly serves Glenbrook Brewing’s Irish Red Ale, and the goal of this project was to design a custom tap handle that would highlight the exclusivity of this partnership while maintaining a timeless aesthetic. We crafted a sleek, rectangular wooden tap marker with laser engraving on multiple sides, ensuring high visibility from any angle. The natural wood finish provides a warm, classic look that complements the historic character of Arthur’s Tavern, while the engraved lettering and logo reinforce the handcrafted quality of both the beer and the venue.
A challenge in this design was achieving perfect logo alignment on all sides of the tap handle. Consistency is essential in a professional presentation, and the Knockout Designs team meticulously adjusted the layout to ensure a seamless, polished look. The result was a beautifully balanced tap handle that not only informs patrons about the exclusive Glenbrook Brewing offering but also enhances the bar’s visual appeal. Beyond functionality, this custom tap handle serves as a useful branding tool. The refined engraving of “Arthur’s Tavern” alongside “Glenbrook Brewery” establishes a strong connection between the two brands, emphasizing the craftsmanship and tradition behind the Irish Red Ale. Custom tap handles like this elevate the drinking experience by reinforcing the story behind each pour. High-quality wooden tap handles are also long-lasting and can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. With proper care and finishing, wooden tap handles resist warping, cracking, and fading, making them ideal for a busy environment.
At Knockout Designs, we take pride in producing small-batch, private-label tap handles for local restaurants, ensuring that each one reflects the quality and uniqueness of the beverages they serve. Collaborating with Arthur’s Tavern and Glenbrook Brewing was a pleasure, and we’re thrilled to have contributed to their shared craft beer experience.
