Tap Handle #351: Chicago Beer Company - Chi Town Pier Pale Ale
Rarity: Rare
Mounting: standard 3/8" ferrule on 5/16" anchor bolt
Upon receiving this tap, it was smaller than I expected it would be. Despite that, it's a pretty impressive piece with some nice detail. It's quite rare and as a result it can be expensive to acquire. If you have the opportunity to obtain it, pay close attention to the spokes of the wheel behind the sailor, as the tips of the spokes can chip off very easily on the front and the back.
