Tap Handle #355: Bridgeport - Kingpin Double Red Ale
Tap size: 10.25"
Rarity: Uncommon
Mounting: internal 3/8" nut
Like the Hurricane Reef tap I profiled last week, this is a bas relief styled tap, mainly flat, but with the gangster sticking out slightly from the wall. The front and back are identical to each other, as are the two sides. I was surprised when receiving it, it is much more impressive in your hand than it appears in photos. There are a few other versions of the Kingpin tap, including another figural one featuring a bowling pin. However, bowling pin taps have been made by several breweries...this theme is much more unique.
