Serious homebrewers call the first beer that worked the ‘original recipe’. The Original Recipe Brewing Company plaque borrows that phrase and adds your name, so the sign reads like a label from a hundred-year-old brewery. Cast leaves frame the text. The sample is for Moschke’s Brewing Company.

Your name, nine characters

The one open line takes up to 9 characters at 1.25 inches. ‘Brewing Company’ and ‘Original Recipe’ are already in the design, so the line is just the name. Nine characters fits most short surnames with a possessive. If yours is longer, the Pub Welcome plaque in the same collection has a 12-character line.

Seven finishes for the Original Recipe Brewing Company plaque

Pick Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, Dark Bronze/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Pewter/Silver. The leaf border shows best in the two-tone finishes, where the raised detail is picked out in gold or silver. Oil Rubbed Bronze is the darkest option and suits a stained-wood bar. Pewter/Silver works with stainless steel equipment.

Made to hang outside

The plaque is the standard wall style, cast from recycled aluminum in the USA. Aluminum will not rust, and the all-weather coating is covered by a five-year warranty. That makes an Original Recipe Brewing Company plaque a sensible choice for a garage door, a brew shed or a covered porch, as well as the bar inside.

Since the name on an Original Recipe Brewing Company plaque is cast into the metal, personalized orders can’t be modified, cancelled or returned after you place them. Check the spelling before you confirm.

The rest of the Brew Pub Collection uses the same finishes and letter height, so pieces can match across a room. If you want the house number to coordinate too, look at the personalized plaques for address layouts.
