Custom beer tap handles that stand out at the bar

We design and make custom beer tap handles for craft breweries, pubs, bars, restaurants and events. From one statement piece to a small batch for multiple taps, the goal is simple: make your beer visible where guests choose what to drink.

Zagreb / Veliko Polje

A tap handle is not just a piece of equipment

In a brewery, pub or bar, the guest often decides only when standing in front of the taps. At that moment the can is not in their hand, the bottle label is not the main focus, and the decision happens at the bar. What they see are the draft beer faucets, the tap tower and the handles.

That is why a beer tap handle can be more than a functional part of a draft beer system. It can carry your logo, the shape of a bottle, a mascot, the story of a beer or the atmosphere of the entire venue.

Bearhill Lab makes personalized tap handles and custom draft beer handles based on your logo, sketch, photo, brand identity or idea. If you already have a 3D model, we can work from it. If you only have a direction, we can help shape it into a finished product.

Branding at the bar

Why should your beer be represented by a generic tap handle?

Breweries invest in recipes, labels, cans, glasses, coasters, social media and brand identity. When the beer reaches a pub or restaurant, the tap handle is often the last visible brand touchpoint before the order.

Visibility between multiple beers

On a bar with several draft beers, a recognizable tap handle helps guests notice your beer instead of blending into a row of generic handles.

Part of bar and pub equipment

Custom tap handles can become part of the wider look of a bar, pub or taproom, especially when the space already has a clear theme or visual identity.

A more professional impression

A good glass, a well-designed bar and clear beer presentation all contribute to the experience. A tap handle does not change the taste of beer, but it can strengthen the perception of your brand.

Price & process

One-off custom handle from €150 · lower unit pricing for batches

The €150 starting point applies to a single custom-developed handle and includes design preparation, revisions, fit and thread setup, and a test piece before final production.

For batches, the price per handle is significantly lower, because design, setup and testing are shared across the quantity. Send us the number of handles and number of different designs for a batch quote.

1 · Idea, logo or sketch

A logo, photo, sketch or short description is enough. You do not need a finished 3D model.

2 · Design and revisions

We define the look, dimensions and technical details, then make the necessary adjustments before production.

3 · Test piece and batch

The first physical piece lets us check the look, ergonomics and fit before producing the rest of the batch.

Bobi & Rudi Pub

Viking themed tap handles for a pub with character

For Bobi & Rudi Pub in Zagreb, we developed a series of custom tap handles inspired by the Viking aesthetic used throughout the interior. Shields, ravens, axes and Thor's hammer were not treated as separate decorations, but as details that naturally belong at the bar.

In pubs with a strong identity, small details make a difference. Beer tap handles sit at the center of the bar and are among the first things guests see when ordering. When they match the interior, they become part of the experience people remember.

Croatian Homebrew Championship

Tap handles for a beer competition and homebrew community

For the Croatian Homebrew Championship, we created custom tap handles used during the national homebrewing competition. Events like this bring together brewers and craft beer enthusiasts who notice the details, from pouring to presentation.

Personalized draft beer equipment can help reinforce the identity of a competition, brewers association or promotional event. For festivals, tastings and launches, we can make one memorable handle or a small batch for multiple taps.

Possibilities

From a clean logo handle to a themed statement piece

Already have a 3D model?

If you already have a production-ready file, we can work directly from your model. These projects are usually less expensive because less design preparation is needed.

Only have a logo or idea?

We can help with concept direction, visual proposals, mockups and a test print when needed. The final quote depends on complexity and quantity.

One piece or a small batch

You do not need to order hundreds of pieces. We make one-off handles, test pieces, small batches and limited editions for new beer launches.
