About Steel City Tap Co.

Steel City Tap Co. builds custom tap handles for breweries, cideries, and beer brands from our shop in Birmingham, Alabama. We've been at it since 2016.

What we do

A tap handle is the only piece of marketing a customer sees at the moment they order. We design and build handles that get noticed from across the bar, in resin, wood, and metal.

Every custom handle goes through the same four steps: sketch, proof, prototype, production. You approve each one before the next starts. New customers pay no design fee.

Who we build for

Duvel, Dos Equis, Tecate, and Good People Brewing pour on our handles, along with craft breweries, cideries, and distributors across the country. See the work in the gallery or read the build stories on The Hop Blog.

Where it gets made

Every order runs through our shop at 913 7th Ave N in Birmingham, where the design, prototyping, and finishing happen. Our stock handles are 100% made in the USA. Custom work is built in our own shop and with trusted production partners, and every piece is inspected here before it ships.

Beyond the handle

We also make the rest of the bar match: tin tackers, point of purchase displays, LED signs, and more on our custom marketing products page. Our sister shops, Presto Embroidery and Classic Printing & Signs, handle apparel and signage.
