Tap Handle #754: Four String: Brass Knuckle Pale Ale

Tap size:  12" tall x 3.75" wide
Rarity:  brewery closed
Mounting:  internal 3/8" nut

I purchased this tap from Four String Brewing at the same time as the previous tap, the Dan Cochran Signature guitar. Brass Knuckle is not the most figural tap - it's brass knuckles attached to a post - but it is distinctive. The tap measures 3.75" wide from the post to the edge of the brass knuckles, something to keep in mind if you want to acquire one but have space limitations. The top of the post has a golden/brass color that looks like bands circling the post, with a small decorative knob on top. At the base is a sign bearing the name of the brewery and the beer. This tap is easily found on the secondary market and very affordable. While Four String was a good sized brewery that made a significant amount of beer, since they have closed I would expect the supply of this tap to eventually dry up.

Four String's Brass Knuckle Pale Ale is a hard-rocking sly session ale (easy drinking) that smacks the lips with tasty bitter hops and citrusy grapefruit shots to the nose. It finishes crisp and dry, sustaining like a windmill power chord. All of a sudden it hits you...this is the one.
