  • Tap Handle Deposit??

    We have been thinking about starting to charge a deposit for our tap handles. What got me thinking about this is I went into an account to deliver some beer and there were a few hundred handles just collecting dust in their basement. This isn't the first time I have seen this but it is worst.

    So the question is does anyone charge a deposit on handles? And if you do is there push back from your draft accounts? If you want to know were your tap handle is shoot me a PM

        We charge our distributor now but didnt when it was just me running around putting kegs in places. I think i maybe had 4 tap handles out at a time and it was all accounts that i could walk in and get it back if needed. I would if you think you are going to run into a problem with your accounts but some places might not like that. I can understand why you look at that place and say holy S haha.

          In our neck of the woods tap handle collecting accounts are the norm not the exception. Many of them will decorate their bar with them also not just hoarding them in the basement. I know that a couple breweries around here charge a deposit on handles. I don't think that it will be a huge shock if we started charging one.
