A handle or lever on a beer tap from which beer is pulled or drawn; specifically the mechanical device used to dispense draft beer.
Compound of 'beer' and 'pull' (from Old English pullian, meaning to draw or drag). This practical term describes the physical mechanism for dispensing beer in taverns and pubs.
The beerpull became iconic in pub design—different regions developed different styles, and a tavern's beerpulls were often beautifully decorated, sometimes engraved with the brewery's name, becoming miniature pieces of folk art.
