Tap Handle #760: Original Joe's - Red Ale

Tap size:  11"

Rarity:  less than 10 seen

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


As promised, here is the third in the set of Original Joe's I acquired together, Red Ale. Featuring a red-headed girl in pigtails, a green top and blue shorts, she sits on the OJ's standard base. The name of the brewpub appears in raised letters, and under that is the word "Red", also in raised letters, while "Ale" runs down to the bottom of the base. It bears some similarities to the Original Joe's Blonde; she is sitting with her body and legs facing left, and according to the mark on the back, this tap was first produced in 2011. Like all Original Joe's taps, it is very rare for the Red Ale to come up in the secondary market, and when it does, it sells for an exorbitant price.

Red Ale is contract brewed for Original Joe's by Big Rock Brewing, and is one of Original Joe's core beers. It has an orange-amber color, with a moderate, hoppy character that is balanced by a distinct caramel malty flavor.
