Tap Handle #759: Original Joe's - Honey Brown

Tap size:  11"

Rarity:  less than 10 seen

Mounting:  3/8" ferrule on 5/16" anchor bolt

As I mentioned in my previous post, I managed to acquire a set of three Original Joe's taps at one time. This is the second of the three taps. Like the Blonde Ale, this one features a young woman (with brown hair of course) perched on the OJ's standard base. The name of the brewpub appears in raised letters, and under that is the word "Honey", also in raised letters, while "Brown" runs down to the bottom of the base. It differs from the Original Joe's Blonde in that this girl sits with her body and legs facing right, and according to the mark on the back, this tap was first produced in 2012. Like all Original Joe's taps, it is very rare for the Honey Brown to come up in the secondary market, and when it does, it sells for an exorbitant price.

Honey Brown is contract brewed for Original Joe's by Big Rock Brewing, and is one of Original Joe's core beers. It has a copper brown color, with aromas of caramel, bread, and hops, with a crisp finish.
