‘Drink Local’ is the motto of every neighborhood taproom, and the Drink Local Barrel personalized plaque makes it the motto of yours. A barrel and a tap handle are cast into the design, with the slogan above and two lines for your own words. The sample reads ‘Brent & Kelly’s Taproom’, split over the two lines.

Two lines, twelve characters each

Each of the two lines holds up to 12 characters at 1.25 inches. That usually means a name on the first line and ‘Taproom’, ‘Brewery’ or a year on the second. Count the spaces and the apostrophe. If a name runs long, drop the possessive or abbreviate, because there is no way to shrink the letters.

A dozen finishes

Like the Beers and Cheers plaque, this Drink Local Barrel personalized plaque comes in twelve colors rather than the usual seven. Choose from Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze Verdigris, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold or White/Gold. Green/Gold suits an Irish-leaning pub, and Black/White reads well in a modern kitchen bar. The two-tone options pick out the barrel and the letters in the second color.

Why a Drink Local Barrel personalized plaque lasts

It is cast from recycled aluminum in the USA, so it won’t rust if it hangs on a porch or a fence by the smoker. The protective all-weather coating carries a five-year warranty. Inside, it asks for nothing but a dusting.

Spelling is permanent on a cast sign. So once a personalized order is placed, it can’t be modified, cancelled or returned. Read both lines back before you confirm.

For a plaque that opens with a greeting instead of a slogan, the Brew Pub Collection has welcome ovals and tap room designs. The Irish Collection has pub-style plaques of its own if the Drink Local Barrel personalized plaque is close but not quite it.
