Like the Wacky Packs of beer<\/h2>\n

It’s not often you find beers like\u00a0Samichlaus<\/strong> on tap (the rare bottles are a Christmas<\/a> tradition with me). Even more rare to find hand-doodled parodies gracing the pulls. Church Key<\/strong> in San Francisco<\/strong>‘s North Beach only has a few taps at a time but man does their artwork make up for their numbers. They put the hand<\/em> in tap handles.<\/p>\n

About the artist<\/h2>\n

I had to pull teeth out of the bartender as he was, unfortunately, not the most talkative or friendly. This is how I got to what I sorta believe to be the guy’s name:<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00dc<\/strong>: Did you draw these? They’re awesome.
\nCK<\/strong>: No.<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00dc<\/strong>:\u00a0Did someone else at Church Key draw them?
\nCK<\/strong>:\u00a0No.<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00dc<\/strong>:\u00a0Do you know who did?
\nCK<\/strong>:\u00a0A local guy who comes in here.<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00dc<\/strong>:\u00a0Happen to know his name?
\nCK<\/strong>:\u00a0Sean.<\/p>\n

\u00dc\u00dc<\/strong>:\u00a0Sean \u2026 ?
\nCK<\/strong>:\u00a0Sean Dick.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t tell if that was the guy’s last name or the bartender just was being one. Making that my last beer at Church Key<\/strong> for the eve. However, I’ll go back and give ’em another chance. And bring a better camera.\u00a0In the meantime enjoy these seven killer tap handles by Sean Dick<\/strong>(?) \u2026<\/p>\n

Much like this bare Scottish butt, the naming for\u00a0Kilt Lifter<\/strong>, from Novato<\/strong>‘s Moylan’s<\/a>, caused a serious stink after certain breweries got their panties in a bunch (full story<\/a>). I could pull more puns out of my ass but that’d be crappy.<\/p>\n

Viking nip slip (nip tip?) for Haand Bryggeriet<\/strong> Odin’s Tipple<\/a>. Take that, Brit Brit.<\/p>\n

Unibroue<\/strong>, my favorite Canadian maker of Belgian beers, gets the Golden Girl<\/strong> treatment for Blanche de Chambly<\/a>. Coincidentally, Rue McLanahan<\/strong> passed away a year ago this month. So you can stop cryin’ already.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you think\u00a0Han<\/strong> shot first, we can all agree that Greedo<\/strong> was a Rodian<\/em>. Hence, he is Rodenbach<\/strong> Grand Cru<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bigger question is, was this the beer\u00a0Princess Leia was drinking<\/a>?<\/p>\n
