Tap Handle #633: Ohana

Tap size:  8.5"
Rarity:  readily available
Mounting:  internal 3/8" nut

The first Ohana tiki tap appeared on the site back in profile #425. Although this tap is smaller than the first one I profiled, it has far more weight and a solid feel, and gives the impression that it has been carved from a heavy, aged wood (it is of course resin). It was designed by Jeremy Costello, a noted tiki artist in the Los Angeles area. Costello went on to design a second (and even smaller) tap for Ohana of a tiki holding a surfboard that has appeared is several different colors. Costello's blog address actually appears on the bottom of the back of the tap. Like the first tap, there is no label for the beer variety. The brewery actually sells these directly on the secondary market, and they are fairly easy to find.
