Makers for 20+ Years
At Green Mountain Tap handles, we strive to make no-nonsense solutions for our trusted brewery partners. With straightforward designs and transparent pricing, we seek to uplift brands so they can connect with new customers.
Using primarily wooden designs, our craftsmen and women work with attention to detail to give breweries memorable handles that last for years. Each handle uses sustainably sourced wood and gets decorated in our facility with paint, print, laser, or stickers.
We craft every handle in our home state of Vermont, and look forward to designing the right handle for you.
We offer samples for a fee of $250-$400 depending on complexity. As we work through the design phase, please let us know your interest and we can create a prototype handle for you.
Yes! We make every handle ourselves in our 28,000 sq. ft. wood shop in Middlebury, Vermont. We offer daily tours at 10am and 1pm, so please stop by to see the handles in process. We source ferrules and metal components from a partner manufacturer.
For custom handles, typical lead time is 3-6 weeks depending on current demand; we provide an estimated ship date once the order is processed and will do our best to honor expedited requests. Standard custom handles have a 2-4 week lead time.
At this time, we do not offer terms. We charge a 50% deposit on the quoted estimate, and the final balance + shipping once the handles are manufactured. Every handle comes individually bagged and boxed. We primarily use UPS, but will freight for large volume orders.
Yes, for basic layout and applied graphics, we include the added work in our per-handle pricing. For more extensive design work, we have an additional fee.
