Tap Handle #685: Cerveza Pacifico Clara - Guy Harvey

Tap Size:  12.25"
Rarity:  limited edition tap, fragile
Mounting:  internal 3/8" nut

Pacifico's Guy Harvey tap has to be one of the most beautiful taps ever made. It is ceramic, meaning all the paint colors have been fired on, along with the finish, so they won't peel or flake off. Featuring the familiar Pacifico life preserver at the top, below that a small green-gold fish and 2 marlins swim within blue and white waves that make up the shaft. At the bottom and on the sides, a yellow base extends down, with a Guy Harvey sign attached to the front and back, and Pacifico decals placed on the sides. Since it is ceramic, it is quite fragile, and many of these taps exhibit cracks or broken marlin snouts due to heavy use or carelessness. The front and back are reverse images of each other, so I have taken a full set of photos. Produced for a limited time in 2015 when Pacifico made a donation to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation for each purchase of Pacifico on draft, it is now hard to find, and sells for well over $100 on the secondary market.

Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist and explorer, fiercely devoted to his family and his love of the sea. His childhood passion for the ocean and its living creatures not only inspired him to draw, but fueled a burning interest that prompted a formal education in marine science. Guy has continued his relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of the sea, traveling the world to better understand the habits and habitats of the marine wildlife he paints.
