Most brew pub signs name the place. The Brew Pub Welcome oval plaque goes a step further and invites people in. ‘Welcome to’ sits at the top of the oval and ‘Brew Pub’ at the bottom, with your name cast across the middle. The photo shows ‘Welcome to Hossink’s Brew Pub’, and that is the format every order follows.

Fourteen characters at 1.25 inches

The one personalized line holds up to 14 characters, each 1.25 inches tall. That covers a possessive family name with room to spare, or two short words. Spaces count as characters, so write the line out and count before you add it to the cart. Also, the Brew Pub Welcome oval plaque’s text is cast in relief rather than printed, so it stays legible for years.

Picking a finish for the Brew Pub Welcome oval plaque

Seven finishes are available: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, Dark Bronze/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Pewter/Silver. Bronze Verdigris gives the green-tinged patina of an old statue. Black/Gold and Dark Bronze/Gold give the highest contrast, so they read best in a dim bar or from across a yard. The single-tone metallics suit a quieter wall.

Where it hangs and how it holds up

This is the standard wall version, so it goes beside a door or over a tap wall. Because the Brew Pub Welcome oval plaque is cast from recycled aluminum in the USA, it will not rust outside. The all-weather coating is covered by a five-year warranty, and cleaning is a rinse and a soft cloth.

The spelling of the name is permanent once it’s cast. For that reason, personalized orders can’t be modified, cancelled or returned after they’re placed. Proofread the line carefully.

If your pub needs a street number as well, the wall-mounted address plaques share the same finishes. The full Brew Pub Collection has round, arch and barrel shapes for the same purpose.
