GOLDEN PACIFIC BREWING GOLDEN BEAR LAGER Draft beer tap handle. Originally opening in 1987 in Emeryville. Moving to Berkely in 1997. Making it to 2003 before closing the doors forever. Retired 20 years ago Golden Bear Bohemian Lager. The Golden Bear was their flagship lager and Californias first craft lager. Tap is listed as used but shows almost no wear. Excellent condition but you can see a small area where some blue paint has worn off a bit near the bottom. Not a deal breaker. (Request more pics if needed). Please view all photos as they are the best part of the description. One of the last pictures shows close up of worn spot. He stands tall sniffing the air in search beer and fresh hops, and a dumpster. They made one in black and one in white with a red base. Both are very rare. I have been collecting taps, cans and associated breweriana advertising items for more than 45 years. Authentic and genuine beauty. Tap handle has been turned and rotated so all sides are pictured. I try to take great photos and write accurate descriptions so you can judge for yourself. Please look carefully at the photos, this is the actual item you will receive. If the item has noticeable flaws, it will be mentioned in description. I usually respond quite fast. If for any reason you are not satisfied, please contact me first and I will do everything I can to make things right.
