Description: Goose Island Octoberfest Lager Chicago Beer Tap Handle. Beer tap handles have evolved significantly over the past century, serving both functional and marketing purposes. Here's a brief history of their development: 1. Early 1900s: Simple wooden stoppers called "bungs" were used to plug holes in beer barrels. 2. 1930s: After Prohibition, federal regulations required taps to be clearly marked with beer brands. This led to the introduction of "ball taps" - small, round tap handles made of metal, resin, or ceramic with brand decals. 3. 1935-1940s: The first beer tap markers, or "ball knobs," emerged. These were typically made of Bakelite with metallic or ceramic medallions displaying the beer brand. 4. 1950s: Tap markers evolved into larger "tin can" style shapes. Materials like plastic and acrylic (Lucite/Plexiglass) began to be used, allowing for wider and taller designs with beer names and images on both sides.
